Tulane Rowing
Tulane Rowing is one of the most successful club sport programs at Tulane. Every year, the program attracts many young men and women to learn and master the sport of rowing. Most students have never pulled an oar before arriving at Tulane! The program plays an integral part in developing their maturity, leadership, and responsibility – all things far beyond success on the water.

To Our Donors...
Thank you for supporting Tulane Rowing. Fundraising is critical to the success of our team, and your donation goes a long way in helping more Tulane students experience the great sport of rowing.
Why are donations necessary?
With more than 40 athletes taking to the water multiple times per week, the club needs to update its aging (and lacking!) safety equipment. Most of the club’s existing safety equipment has fallen into disrepair including PFDs, shell lighting, bull horns, and other safety launch equipment. Due to the club’s financial challenges, the club cannot allocate dues or other university funding to purchase such equipment. Similarly, the club is unable to allocate sufficient funding to cover a market rate salary for full or part-time coaching. The head coach and assistant coaches are critical to the success of the club including performance, but they also serve a far more important role of leading the general administration of the club and overseeing athlete safety. The club cannot run without the dedication and commitment of its coaching staff.
