Sponsorship and Donations

TENNESSEE CREW APPRECIATES YOUR SUPPORT!

As Tennessee crew continues to expand, our need for more equipment and boats will (and continues to) grow. We receive little money from the university, and we have a desire to keep dues lower to decrease the barrier of entry for those who want to give rowing a try. To that end, we currently are looking for sponsorship and donations to help us fund the purchase of a new boat, new rowing machines, replacement equipment, and uniforms. We are also a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non profit organization.

If you would like your donation to contribute to our fund for new rowing machines and replacement equipment (such as rowing shoes, riggers, oars, etc.), please click on the "Donate" button at the bottom of this page to donate through our VolStarter Account. Funds donated through this account are allocated for a specific goal outlined in the account. 

If you are interested in a sponsorship partnership with Tennessee Crew, or would like your donation to contribute to our current goal of purchasing a heavyweight mens 4, please contact our Treasurer Tanner Crawford (wcrawfo6@vols.utk.edu). Below you will find the different tiers of sponsorship we offer, as well as our current donors.
