The mission of Emory Crew shall be to offer the students of Emory University a competitive intercollegiate rowing program. The club offers each student the equipment and coaching necessary for all club members to learn how to row. As well, Emory Crew will provide the means for all qualified members to travel the country and compete in a number United States Rowing sanctioned regattas each semester.
Emory Crew welcomes all donations and strives to fundraise for the general operation of the team. Rowing is an expensive sport, with the bulk of our fees ranging from competitions (registration, travel and lodging) to coach payments and more. Our team requires tens of thousands of dollars every year to operate in full capacity. For this day of giving, we aim to fundraise enough funds for our National Competition, American Collegiate Rowing Association, in late May. Due to limitations on how much allocated funding we can use, any donation, large or small would help us fundraise to bring as many passionate rowers to this nationally recognized competition at no extra cost to the rower. In doing so, we also aim to break the stigmas that rowing is inaccessible sport and removing barriers for low-income rowers, deterred from participating due to high membership dues.
