Gifts to William Smith Rowing contribute to...

This year with your help, William Smith Rowing is ready to smash our fundraising goals. Athletics Day of Donors has been going strong for years now, each year blasting through the previous year’s record by focusing on bringing all our Herons back to the Nest!
Your gift to William Smith Rowing this year will support the following:
- Team gear package.
- Additional recruiting resources
- Motor for coaching launch
- Equipment – oars, cox boxes, etc.
- Nutrition, including training tables at the boathouse (pre and post-practice snacks/recovery items)
Your generosity will directly benefit our student-athletes by providing essential resources such as additional travel opportunities, nutrition to maximize performance and recovery, sport-specific equipment, gear, and investments in technology. Your gifts also help us expand our recruiting outreach to attract the best student-athletes to HWS and support them while they are here through our athletic study mentorship program. Your support is essential to our program's success.
Thank you for helping us provide a championship-level experience!

If you have any difficulty making your gift, please contact Wendy Barnhart at (315) 781-3725 or barnhart@hws.edu between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST.
*Offline gifts will be counted after the close of the giving day to ensure accuracy. Note that the leaderboard may vary slightly from actual numbers because of this.
