Welcome to Florida Club Rowing's Fall 2026 Erg-a-thon Fundraiser!

Florida Club Rowing was founded in 1984 by a small group of passionate athletes, but we have never let the term "club" define our performance. Our athletes devote endless hours and effort to training, which has consistently awarded us notable placements at our largest races each year, such as Head of the Hooch, SIRA, and ACRA.

As rowing equipment and fees become increasingly expensive, it can become difficult for a club team with smaller allocations of funding from the university, such as ours, to maintain itself. Despite this, we strive to keep fees for our competing members as low as possible to make rowing more accessible to everyone. Donations are very significant contributions that keep our team afloat, and we sincerely appreciate every dollar we receive; they help cover fees, food, and hotel costs at races, general equipment maintenance, and aid us in lowering costs even further for existing and future members.

This year, we are partnering with Florida State University to create greater outreach for our combined goals. We will be competing with them live! More details are below.

If you are able, you can donate today! Thank you for your support for our team!
