Important Update: WOW! In response to an early Giving Tuesday campaign at the FUN.d Event on November 8, we exceeded our initial goal of $15,000 thanks to the incredible generosity of our rowing parents. The $15,000 raised allowed us to purchase 15 much-needed ergs for the winter season - thank you! In order to support the emergent purchase of two 8-boats and 16 oars, we are raising the goal to $30,000. If you have yet to make a gift, please consider a gift, of any size, to help Saint Ignatius Chicago Rowing make this important investment in new equipment ahead of the spring racing season.

Every. Gift. Counts. And we know we can raise these funds with your help! Thank you.

Rowing is the ultimate team sport. Every athlete plays a role in moving the boat forward. Coaches, parents and supporters are an important part of the team, too.

This Giving Tuesday, please help Saint Ignatius Chicago Rowing meet its goal of raising $15,000 to support the purchase of ergs and oars - vital equipment for our athletes to compete. Ergs, or "ergometers" are rowing machines used for training over the winter. New oars will help power our boats through the Spring Season.

Saint Ignatius Chicago Rowing has been fostering the growth of student-athletes for over 25 years. SICR is an entirely self-funded organization and we depend heavily on donations to offset equipment purchases and maintenance, storage and rental fees, team travel, club operations and scholarship costs

Every gift makes a difference.
