Welcome to Rowing Cares San Diego 2025, presented by the San Diego Crew Classic. We’re thrilled to be back this year for the 24th Anniversary of such an important event as we bring the rowing community back to Mission Bay, for a day of fun on the water while remembering and honoring those near and dear to us.

DAMPER - Donating A Mammogram Per Every Rower. Imagine 1,000 rowers raising $150 each to support the cost of a mammogram for 1,000 individuals - with a single goal to save lives! We are proud to partner with three organizations this year in support of making an impact to our local community and toward research:

San Diego Survivors/Community Rowing San Diego
Scripps Health Foundation
Breast Cancer Angels

The first Rowing Cares regatta was hosted by UC San Diego Women’s Crew in 2001 shortly after losing an alumna, Lori Ann Uptegrove, and a Triton family member, Joyce Snyder, to breast cancer. The event course takes place throughout Mission Bay, with the event expo located in North Ski Beach across from Crown Point Shores.

How Your Donation Makes A Difference

Now, more than ever, the San Diego community needs our help. All donations will be used to provide grants for qualified programs in the San Diego area which benefit cancer patients and survivors.

We support:

Community health organizations which support local cancer patients and their families with programs such as peer-to-peer counseling, financial assistance, patient navigation and transportation
Rowing organizations which empower cancer survivors through rehabilitation and exercise programs while providing camaraderie, support and socialization

We can’t wait to see you on October 4th!

Thank You To Our Partners
