Hello all, and thank you to everyone who has donated to our campaign so far. We are entering our final sprint to the finish line! With barely a week left in our campaign we are over 75% of the way to our goal. For those of you who have already given, thank you SO much for your generous support throughout the campaign, and if you haven't donated yet there is still plenty of time! However much we can fundraise in the coming week will translate to meters on the erg for our athletes, so if you want to make us work even harder donate today!

For our final push through the finish line, we decided to take a humorous and hypothetical look at how our practices would go if we didn't receive the incredible level of support we have thus far. Check out the video below!

Thank you again for all your support so far and go Bruins!

Hello all, and thank you to everyone who has donated to our campaign so far! With just over 10 days left we are less than $10,000 away from our goal! If you have already given, thank you so much and please continue to support us as we make the final push. And if you still have yet to donate, you still have a chance but time is running out so give now! We're only a few thousand dollars off of our fundraising total from last year, and the amount we've raised through 2 weeks is almost enough to buy a brand new 4-person shell. So far in our erg-a-thon our athletes have rowed over 150,000 meters, so keep up the support to make us erg even more!

For those of you less familiar with the sport, we refer to the third 500m of a 2k race or erg test as the 'dark 500'. You've already given your all for 1000m and you're wheezing in pain, but before you get to the sprint in the last 500m you need to fight through the dark 500. This is where true champions are tested - anyone can give their all at the start when they have the energy, or at the end when they know they're almost finished, but it takes a special kind of grit to dig deep when you're already drained and there is no end in sight. This is the point we are at in our campaign. Before we get to the final push, we need YOUR help to get us through the third 500 and to our goal. Crew selection has started for our first big regatta, the UC Championships on March 3, so we need your support to meet our goals both on and off the water.

Go Bruins!

Just one week into our campaign and we have already raised almost half of our goal!! Thank you so much to everyone who has already contributed, and if you haven't given yet there is still plenty of time to help us reach our goal! We've already raised 2/3 of what we did last year, and with the money donated so far we could buy a brand new single sculling shell or pay for our whole team to attend one of our championship regattas in the spring. The more money we raise the more athletes we will be able to send to big postseason regattas, so please share our fundraiser with your friends and family to get the word out.

Next week we will be posting another (funnier) video to the campaign page, so make sure to keep checking in regularly for updates and to keep track of our campaign progress!
