Wisconsin Rowing’s first 150 years built a legacy of grit, pride, and excellence. Now, the next chapter begins—and we need everyone in the boat. As alumni and supporters, your connection to this program is powerful. Your support fuels the training, resources, and opportunities that keep Wisconsin Rowing competitive at the highest level. Join us in shaping the future—because this tradition only grows stronger when we pull together.
Wisconsin Rowing is built on grit, tradition, and unmatched success. With 14 Ten Eyck national championships, we’re the second most decorated team in the country—and we’re just getting started. Since 1968, over 65 Badger oarsmen have pulled for Team USA on the world stage.
This legacy of excellence? It all started right here on Lake Mendota.
No early mornings. No erg tests. No seat races. With your help and support, we can protect the tradition of excellence and the ability to change lives. Together, we can provide the opportunity for future athletes to learn the values of teamwork, trust, and resilience. We want to look back and know that together we made a difference. Please consider helping to leave a lasting impact and know that your legacy will continue to support Wisconsin Rowing.
Wisconsin Rowing’s strength has always come from its people—oars in the water, pulling as one. As we look to the future, your involvement is more important than ever. Whether through financial support or lending your time and talent, there are meaningful ways for every alum to contribute to the continued success of the program.
Join a growing community of alumni who are powering the immediate future through recurring, sustainable giving. The Stewards fund supports Project 2030 which provides the essential resources that develops our athletes and keeps them performing at their peak—on the water, in the classroom, and beyond.
A gift to the Legacy Fund helps us stay competitive year after year deep into the future. This fund directly supports building the bones and muscle by ensuring that our team has the increased budgets needed to continue our tradition of excellence.
