We need your support

Because there is no NCAA crew team at our university, Penn State Club Crew is proud to be the only team representing Penn State at regattas. We don the Nittany Lion proudly on our chests as we compete against varsity and club teams from across the Northeast and the nation. We are a committed group of students who wake up at 5 a.m. and practice 6 days a week year-round to make a name for Penn State in the rowing community.

​

Rowing at the club level allows more athletes to find a competitive, community driven team to be part of in college. Students who had never been in a boat before get to pick up an oar and strap into a boat for the first time with our team. They have the opportunity to travel for regattas and experience the thrill of competing against other boats from all across the country. The fact that our club is open to all, and not just those with a certain 2K time, means the team is a beautiful mix of rowers with varying levels of experience, all working together to improve.

​

However, while we are able to make rowing more accessible in one regard, it remains elusive in another - financially. At the club level we do not receive as much funding from the university as varsity teams do, so we rely on the generosity of our families, alumni, and community members to help cover all the costs of rowing. It is through the generosity of people like you that Penn State Club Crew is able to provide such a home to its athletes. Please consider clicking the button below to donate to our team.
