Rowing is an expensive sport. Over 50% of our expenses come from fundraising each year. This support helps us maintain our boats, purchase new equipment, enter regattas, and provide scholarships to ensure rowing is accessible to everyone. This culture of inclusivity and community support has led to 8 State Championships in the last 4 years and more boats going to Nationals each year. Last year our Girls Junior 8 won the Dee Campbell Trophy at the Stotesbury Regatta in Philadelphia (see video above for the win!). In addition, we provide over $12,000 in scholarship support to ensure that any athletes who want to row can do so.

The "Row the 'Costia" event is our largest fundraiser of the season where every rower and coxswain is asked to raise $400 to help us meet our $35,000 goal. On March 22, each athlete will row an epic 24,000 meters down the Anacostia River, past iconic DC landmarks, and under beautiful bridges. This fun event helps bring our team together as we race each other, mixing varsity and novice rowers. Rowing together, the rowers will end the day tired, but with improved technical skills and strengthened team spirit.

We need your support! We ask family, friends, and alumni to help us meet this goal. SEARCH FOR YOUR ROWER'S NAME and make a contribution to their individual fund. Each contribution helps the rower meet their goal and the team meet our overall goal.
