Row Together: Secure the Future of Rowing in Our Community!

Our rowing club has always been a source of pride, fostering athleticism, teamwork, and community spirit. But to continue our mission and ensure future generations have the opportunity to experience the thrill of rowing, we need your support.

We're excited to announce a significant development: you can now make tax-deductible donations directly through our club website, with receipts issued by the esteemed Australian Sports Foundation (ASF). This means your generous contributions can directly benefit our club while also providing you with valuable tax benefits.

This new donation pathway opens up incredible opportunities for both our dedicated club members and the wider public to contribute to our success. Whether you're a seasoned rower, a passionate supporter, or simply someone who believes in the power of community sports, your contribution matters.

But that's not all. We've also launched a vital fundraising project with a specific goal: to raise $50,000 to replace the "Spirit of Townsville," an ageing but beloved boat in our fleet. This vessel has served us faithfully for years, carrying countless athletes to victory and inspiring countless others. However, time has taken its toll, and it's now essential to replace it with a modern, reliable boat that can meet the demands of our growing program. View the project here

The "Spirit of Townsville" represents more than just a boat; it symbolizes the spirit of our club and the dedication of our athletes. Replacing it is not just about equipment; it's about investing in the future of rowing in our community.

Your donations, whether large or small, will make a tangible difference. Every dollar contributed brings us closer to our goal and helps us provide our athletes with the resources they need to excel.

Here's how you can help:

  • Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: Visit our club website and follow the simple steps to donate through the ASF. You'll receive a receipt for your tax records, making it easy to support our club while maximizing your tax benefits.
  • Spread the Word: Share our fundraising campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues. Help us reach a wider audience and inspire others to contribute.
  • Join Our Events: Participate in our upcoming fundraising events and show your support in person.
  • Corporate Sponsorship: If you represent a business, consider becoming a corporate sponsor and partner with us to promote community sports.

Together, we can ensure the continued success of our rowing club and provide opportunities for athletes of all ages to pursue their passion. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to rowing together towards a brighter future.
