Rowing Cares

Welcome to Rowing Cares San Diego 2024, presented by the Crew Classic Foundation. We’re thrilled to be back this year for the 23rd Anniversary of such an important event as we bring the rowing community back to Mission Bay, for a day of fun on the water while remembering and honoring those near and dear to us. 

We are happy to announce that the San Diego Crew Classic in conjunction with the San Diego Crew Classic Foundation will be offering a $2,500 match for the first $2,500 fundraised.

DAMPER - Donating A Mammogram Per Every Rower. Imagine 1,000 rowers raising $150 each to support the cost of a mammogram for 1,000 individuals - with a single goal to save lives! We are proud to partner with three organizations this year in support of making an impact to our local community and toward research:

San Diego Survivors/Community Rowing San Diego

Scripps Health Foundation

Breast Cancer Angels

The first Rowing Cares regatta was hosted by UC San Diego Women’s Crew in 2001 shortly after losing an alumna, Lori Ann Uptegrove, and a Triton family member, Joyce Snyder, to breast cancer. The event course takes place throughout Mission Bay, with the event expo located in North Ski Beach across from Crown Point Shores.

We can’t wait to see you on October 5!

Now, more than ever, the San Diego community needs our help. All donations will be used to provide grants for qualified programs in the San Diego area which benefit cancer patients and survivors. 

We support:

• Community health organizations which support local cancer patients and their families with programs such as peer-to-peer counseling, financial assistance, patient navigation and transportation

• Rowing organizations which empower cancer survivors through rehabilitation and exercise programs while providing camaraderie, support and socialization
