2024 Pull Together Campaign
The beginning of 2024 marks the push for our annual "Pull Together" campaign. Our athletes work extremely hard, and they deserve to continue to be provided with resources which put them in the best position to succeed. This year, we need to update our fleet of training shells. Additionally, we are always seeking funding to support scholarships and our STEM to Stern effort. After a strong 2023, our athletes are looking to build on their success. Please support the Milwaukee Rowing Club athletes as they strive for greatness!
2024 Urgent Needs
The club is in need of updating our fleet, and continued funding for our STEM to Stern program. Here is our goal for 2023:
Update Our fleet of training shells - $25,000
We need to update our fleet of older training shells - these get the heaviest use from all of our programs and by bringing in four used shells we will put our crews in strong boats for training for years to come.

The MRC had five crews compete at Youth Nationals in Sarasota, FL. The Boys Varsity 8+, the Girls Varsity 8+, the Boys 2nd Varsity 8+, the Girls 2nd Varsity 8+, and the Girls U17 4+ all competed at a high level in June. The Girls Varsity 8+ had their best finish in history earning 12th in the country.

The MRC had 3 crews earn top 10 finishes and 8 crews finished in the top 20. The Men’s Youth 8+ placed 2nd in their best ever finish in the V8+ event.
