Before the sun comes up, our athletes are already at the boathouse—pulling on layers, setting up ergs, and getting ready to put in the work. Rowing is more than a sport to them. It’s discipline, teamwork, resilience, and learning how to push through discomfort together. Every stroke teaches commitment, and every practice builds confidence that carries far beyond the water.

The Erg-a-thon is one of the most important moments of our season. During this event, our athletes take on the challenge of logging serious meters on the erg while our coaches push themselves to row a full marathon. It’s a test of grit—and a celebration of how far this team has come. Most importantly, it’s how our athletes work toward meeting their $500 individual fundraising commitment, due by May 1st.

When you donate to this campaign, 100% of your contribution goes directly to the fundraising commitment of the athlete you support, helping cover essential program costs and keeping rowing accessible for everyone on the team. Your generosity fuels early mornings, long practices, and big goals. Thank you for supporting our athletes, believing in their hard work, and helping them row toward a stronger season—together.
