This is your opportunity to help us empower the young athletes of MAC Rowing. Your generosity fuels their dreams and supports them in their journey to greatness on and off the water. Thank you for being a part of it!
After taking a substantial hit during the Covid-19 shutdown, MAC is growing again, putting fast boats on the water, and generating a lot of excitement. You can help us keep that momentum going by making a donation today. Every donation makes a meaningful impact on the lives of our dedicated athletes and allows us to provide them with the equipment they need to succeed at the highest level!
The team fees that families pay cover the cost of coaching salaries, travel to regattas, uniforms, race entry fees and facility costs at the UCLA Marina Aquatic Center, but, crucially, those fees do not cover the cost of the equipment the athletes train and compete in. That is where the Santa Monica Bay Junior Rowing Association comes in. SMBJRA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit set up to support MAC Rowing with equipment and scholarship funding for families in need.
This year we have set the ambitious goal of raising $100,000 in order to purchase two new 8 person rowing shells and replenish our scholarship fund. All donations are tax-deductible and every penny you donate goes directly to supporting the team. The SMBJRA board members are volunteers whose only objective is to support MAC.
Please give generously! Your donation will manifest itself in the form of a shiny new rowing shell, but what you're actually doing is helping us build MAC's young men and women into the strong, resilient, confident and accomplished people the world needs.
