We met and exceeded our $40,000 fundraising goal at our 2025 Spring Fundraising Dinner, with over $43,000 in contributions from folks wanting to support our current UO Oregon Rowing team. Thank you! Just as importantly, we came together in community and had a blast. We hope to see you at our next annual Spring dinner in 2026!

 When you donate to Friends of Oregon Rowing, you are supporting current UO crew teams, our coaches and improvements to facilities. Donations go toward coaches' stipends, boathouse improvements, and operating expenses for the teams. Past contributions have constituted a substantial portion of the team’s revenues. If this type of fundraising can be repeated in the future, it will make a huge impact on the team budget. We are currently working with UO Advancement to start an endowment to build a new boathouse! received multiple inquiries from alumni about larger projects including replacing the existing boathouse with a newer structure and starting an alumni endowment to support the team. Please donate today!
