Rowing

Donations on Giving Day directly support all three Navy rowing teams and their travel for winter and spring training trips. Contributions also enhance the Navy Crew Excellence Fund, which provides top-tier rowing equipment and helps supplement assistant coach salaries as needed. All funds are 100% tax-deductible and benefit Heavyweight, Lightweight, and Women's rowing equally.
