Since 2019, TriStar Rowing has trained passionate athletes who set big goals & go after them. Our team of 100 high school, junior high, & master rowers train year-round with a balanced mix of skill-building, strategy, & heart - and with expensive equipment that athlete fees alone can’t cover. That’s why we hold our annual Ergathon.

Boats cost up to $50,000, cox boxes $1500, ergs $1200, and oars $700 each.
Every new purchase strengthens our team - older equipment gets passed down so every rower benefits.
Recently, we committed to upgrading our aging fleet with exceptional Wintech carbon fiber racing shells - improving speed, balance, & build quality for everyone.

Each TSR team member sets a personal fundraising goal, then appeals to family, friends & local businesses.

Athletes compete to meet their fundraising goals & earn prizes, including the prestigious opportunity to select a race & athlete lineup at a fall regatta!
We are committed to honoring our donor partners with gratitude & recognition.

Will you join us? Every gift, large or small, moves us forward—one boat at a time, one stroke at a time, one dollar at a time.

Ergathon is a community event, competition & PARTY! Much like a walk-a-thon, athletes row as many meters as possible on ergs! TSR athletes are divided into 4 teams, each led by one of our 2025-26 team captains. Teams compete for prizes for meters rowed & funds raised.

We are aiming to collectively row 3 MILLION METERS - to support boats, equipment, and special projects for TriStar Rowing.

Frequently Asked Questions:

❓Why am I seeing a tip option at checkout? Givebutter offers its platform to nonprofits for free by asking donors to leave a small, optional tip to support their services. Adjust or remove the tip—it’s completely optional!
❓What are the processing fees? All donations include a small processing fee charged by payment providers (around 2.9% + 30¢ for cards). You can choose to cover this fee so 100% of your gift goes to TriStar.
❓Do you accept checks? We accept business checks. Individuals may write a check directly to an athlete who will, in turn, write a check to Tristar Rowing. Contact us if you have any questions or need assistance!

Our Mission: TriStar Rowing is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to developing athletes through competitive rowing. With community support, we provide expert coaching, quality equipment, and a team-driven environment where rowers thrive - on & off the water.
