Donate & Fundraise
Fulfilling our mission is only possible due to the dedication of Seattle’s rowing community. We are thankful for their support in volunteering, racing, and fundraising – year after year.
Leaving breast cancer in our wake
Rowers are driven, passionate, and relentless, all qualities that make them powerful allies in the fight against breast cancer. Each year, we come together not just to race, but to leave breast cancer in our wake.
As a Rowing Cares event, we proudly support local foundations focused on early detection and post-diagnosis care. Since our first event 26 years ago, we’ve raised over $1.5 million and keep it local to benefit those here in the Pacific Northwest.
Join us on September 21, 2025, and help make this our best year yet!
Tips to GiveButter are optional, but they help keep the platform free – your support is greatly appreciated!

Home of the Pink Erg
Exclusive to our event, the Pink Erg is more than just a prize, it’s a powerful symbol of strength, perseverance, and community. Since its inception in 2016, this coveted award has challenged teams to push beyond limits and raise the most funds in support of those impacted by breast cancer.
Cherished by rowers who have been directly or indirectly affected, the Pink Erg stands as a beacon of inspiration, whether during tough erg tests, moments of reflection, or personal battles. It holds deep meaning for many who have lost loved ones to this terrible disease, gives strength to those fighting illness, or uplifts anyone facing difficult times. More than a trophy, it transforms competition into a heartfelt tribute to resilience and solidarity.
