Illinois Rowing Needs a New Truck!
Donation protected
We need your help! Last weekend, our team's truck's engine died. A short-term fix for the engine we got a year ago failed, and the engine has blown out. It is not repairable.
No truck means we can't transport our boats to races. This means that in order for us to continue as a team, we need a new truck.
The plan is to fundraise a down payment (20k) to purchase a new truck, which we have to do in time for nationals in 5 weeks.
If not, we have to cancel our hotel for nationals and resort to sleeping on a gym floor for several days to get the money or not go to nationals period. There is no other option.
We are a student-run organization. We are self-funded through dues. Especially for the seniors, if we do not get the down payment it means that after putting in 4 years of work and approximately $10,000 into the team we will not get the chance to represent the University of Illinois and Illinois Rowing at nationals.
Please donate today! Every little bit helps.
