Our Crowdfunding Groups
Please join the Friends of UCLA Rowing for the annual banquet to celebrate the unprecedented success of the 2023 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 8+ and the current team that is primed to repeat that win.
On top of celebrating the wins, we will be joined by the highest-ranking rowing coach in the country, Josy Verdonkschot, the Chief High Performance Officer of USRowing.
Enjoy food and drinks with athletes, alumni, friends & family as we honor the team. Bring your family for a beautiful evening on campus with old friends. Our goal is to pack the room with friends and keep the presentations short and lively to celebrate, so we've drastically reduced ticket prices to maximize participation.
Although the focus of the night is to have some fun, due to an extremely generous donor, EVERY DOLLAR THAT IS CONTRIBUTED UP TO $100,000 WILL BE MATCHED BY GEOF STRAND.
Donate $95 to the UCLA Rowing Team per ticket to the 2024 Crew Banquet on Saturday, March 16. So 2 people will be $190, 3 is $285, etc.
Stay posted for details about a potential row at the boathouse and after drinks at a nearby venue in Westwood.
