Update 7/3/2008: All we can say is wow and thank you! Over $10,000 in just over 48 hours is amazing! Your support is truly appreciated and we hope that we can bring home a World Championship for all of you.

Any donations in excess of the $10,000 goal will be contributed to the Lightweight Victory Fund. The mission of this fund is to build an endowment that will continue to support USA Lightweight Men's rowing into the future.

If you are interested in making a direct donation to the Victory Fund, please contact us at: USLightMen@gmail.com.

Thank you again for your support and GO USA!


Thank you for visiting the fundraising page for the 2008 Men's Lightweight 8. We will be traveling to Linz, Austria to compete at the FISA World Rowing Championships, July 21-27.

In order to make this trip possible we must raise $10,000 to defray travel expenses, equipment rental, entry fees and room/board. Donations of any size will help to get us to the starting line in Austria. Individuals who contribute at least $100 will receive a signed picture of the team and donations over $250 will also receive an autographed USA Rowing T-Shirt.

Donating through this website is simple, fast, secure and tax deductable. Many thanks for your support, and please don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

GO USA!
