Help Power our Way to the Henley Royal Regatta!

We’re a dedicated crew of athletes from Chicago with a shared dream: to compete at the Henley Royal Regatta (June 30-July 5, 2026). The Henley is one of the most prestigious rowing events in the world. This year, that dream became a reality.

The Chicago Rowing Foundation is going to make its premiere appearance at the Henley. We need your help to make our journey possible. We have set up a fundraiser to help cover:

Travel and accommodations for our crew and coaches
Equipment rental to ensure we race at our best
Entry and race fees as part of the race registration and affiliated costs

Each rower in our V8 is aiming to raise $5,000 and we are aiming to raise $80,000 overall to compete. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to the start. The Chicago Rowing Foundation High Performance Fund will match the first $10,000 raised.

How You Can Help:

Donate what you can. Every dollar counts!
