EXCITING NEWS!
Since our first season in 2018, Team Tampa has worked hard to find used equipment to handle the rapid growth of the team while still keeping our fees the lowest of any Florida rowing team. While we have grown our fleet to almost 40 boats, the average age of our boats is 20+ years old. Our lovely Carlota will turn 30 next year…
CANDO, Team Tampa Rowing’s booster organization, understands that our athletes need equipment they can depend on and is equal to the teams they race against. To help us towards this goal, CANDO has committed over $300,000 to a 6-year equipment replacement plan. This investment is possible because of the team growth and the success of our continued fundraising efforts. This plan allows Team Tampa to purchase equipment now that will be delivered in time for fall races while we are still working on meeting our 2023-2024 fundraising goals.
CLICK HERE to preview fundraising opportunities Team Tampa is planning for this fall. It is vital that all families participate and work to meet their $350 annual fundraising goal so we can continue forward with CANDO’s support. Middle school families are asked to raise $50 per each semester they are enrolled.
