Happy New Year!

December 31, 2018

Lets celebrate! Just 12 hours left of 2018 and our Minutefund Campaign: Finishing the Ergs.

 

We have had great success, reaching our initial goal of $9,000 within just the first two weeks of our campaign. Thanks to your support we were able to expand our goal to include funding for new erg slides. And as part of our campaign we’ve been sending you updates and videos on our progress. As you can imagine, not every take was perfect… but still a lot of fun. Check out the video highlighting some footage that didn’t quite make the cut!

 

Can we reach $12,000 with just 12 hours left? We need your help! Please visit Minutefund page and donate today!

Walk on athletes: Why do I row?

December 14, 2018

We’ve raised nearly enough money to cover our new ergs! Thanks to your support we’re expanding our goal to $12,000. The additional money raised will cover a pair of slides for each new erg. We couldn’t have done this without you! 

 

To celebrate, our walk on athletes created a new video explaining why they row. Enjoy!

 

We’re nearing the end of the year so don’t miss out on your chance at a tax deductible donation today! Your donation will impact the program for many years to come!

Half Way There!

December 07, 2018

Good Morning, UMass Rowing Community!

 

We have officially surpassed 50% of our $9,000 goal. We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again. We couldn’t do it without you! Thank you!

 

Over the last week, the women on this team have put themselves through some grueling workouts that required grit and perseverance. Knowing that they have your support helped them get through every practice. Check out the highlight reel below. Please share the video with your family, friends, colleagues. Post it on your social media and spread the word.

 

Please help us get through the second 1,000m and donate to the team today! These dedicated women thrive on not only the support of their family and friends, but their teammates every morning. The way they cheer for one another and push each other through their workouts only further exemplifies their passion for the sport and ability to succeed. Help us create a space and provide enough equipment for the entire team to train at one time, and we’ll take that team camaraderie a step further.

Meet the Team!

December 04, 2018

Hello Umass Rowing Community!

 

In just the first few days we have already surpassed 30% of our $9,000 goal. This means we already have money for three new ergs! THANK YOU!

 

To help shine a light on how grateful we are for your donations, we’ve interviewed a few members from our team. Please check out the video below. 

 

This is a great start ... but we aren't done! Please help us to share the link with family and friends this week on social media to get the word out there! We are working hard to continue the tradition of providing our women with the best facilities and equipment possible to train, and your involvement is invaluable.

 

Our team consists of not only the current women on the roster but the alumnae, parents, and rowing community that make our success possible. Thank you for spreading the word, sharing our link, and making your donations. We couldn't do it without you.
