Fighting To End Human Trafficking Through Endurance
Kayaking
Meet Rob DeCou
Rob is an athlete, entrepreneur, Rotarian and most importantly, a father and a husband. In 1997 Rob spent a year in India as a Rotary Youth Exchange Student and while there set a new world record completing a 50 hour non-stop aerobics event with a dozen other participants. That experience set him on a lifelong path to challenge himself physically and mentally in endurance events. Rob swims, bikes and runs extraordinary distances and combines his passion for challenge with fundraising for programs he supports.
The Next Challenge
CATALINA CROSSING
The 19th Annual Troupe Family Fundraiser to benefit 1736 Family Crisis Center will soon take place and ultra-athlete Rob DeCou has taken up a new sport — kayaking! He’s been learning and training hard. Now, he’s ready! On Sunday, July 21, 2024, Rob will kayak the 21 miles from Catalina Island to San Pedro. GoRobGo!
We ask for your support for our virtual event with a donation or sponsorship. Sponsors will receive a Zoom invitation to meet and talk with Rob at the post-event virtual celebration. (Date and time to be determined).
This is Rob’s fifth year in partnering with us to raise awareness and funds for our domestic violence and human trafficking programs. Rob is a technology entrepreneur, educator, motivational speaker, Rotarian, and a loving husband and father. Rob uses his skills and passion for ultra-endurance sports to raise awareness of important social issues. Rob will be joined by fellow kayakers Jim Baxley, Parker Cohn, James Ferro, Dave Sundius, and Gareth Evans.
Special thanks to Dave and Nancy Voss, Cozette Vergari, and the Troupe Family for their support and sponsorship to make this happen.

1736 Family Crisis Center
Since 1972, 1736 Family Crisis Center has responded to the growing needs of victims of domestic violence, runaway and homeless youth, victims of human trafficking, homeless families, homeless and at-risk Veterans, unemployed adults and youth, and other low-income community members in need of assistance. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive rehabilitative programs that are managed by licensed therapists, social workers, attorneys and other professional staff. Men, women, children and families can access life-saving support 24 hours a day through five shelters, five community service centers, various community-based offices and co-locations and five crisis and suicide hotlines. We are ready to help kids, families, and Veterans so that they can permanently escape the worst possible conditions of poverty, homelessness and violence.
