Giving Tuesday & End of the Year 2025 Campaign

There’s #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday...and then there’s #GivingTuesday, an international day of giving! Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025. We need YOUR help! THANK YOU for your consideration! This Giving Tuesday, we are working to raise $25,000 to complete the docks at New Site, creating safer and more accessible water access for every rower. A $10,000 match will kick in once we receive $20,000 in other donations!

Scholarship Fund

Sarasota Crew has a goal to make rowing accessible to all Sarasota youth regardless of their financial situation. Rowing is the vehicle Sarasota Crew uses to develop youth into student-athletes who through their personal development acquire the self-esteem, athleticism, discipline and confidence to be more successful in school and in life. We know that all youth will benefit from this positive developmental experience.

We offer scholarships, based on demonstrable need via an application process, which covers all or a portion of the tuition. In 2016, scholarships accounted for approximately 15% of our High School Tuition income. Our goal is to increase scholarship funding and to collaborate with more local organizations to make rowing accessible to all interested youth.

In addition, we do our best to never turn away an athlete who wants to attend a regatta.  Supporting the scholarship fund will allow us to have every athlete on the water at the races!

$7,885 = Allows a rower to participate in the entire season and attend all the regattas
$2,650 = Allows a varsity rower to participate in the entire season
$2,000 = Allows a middle school rower to participate in the entire season
$1,735 = Allows a rower to participate in 14 regattas
   $275 = Allows an elementary school rower to participate in a 6-week session

How are you going to change the life of child today?
