Your support is more than a donation; it’s an investment in tradition, discipline, and excellence. The Coaching Endowment Campaign stands as a generational opportunity to foster the ultimate team spirit inherent to the Notre Dame Men’s Rowing. It’s about securing a legacy of high-caliber coaching, to elevate our club to the highest echelons of collegiate rowing.
With gifts and pledges, like yours, we’ve ignited a spark, having raised a significant portion of our $2.5 million goal. Your contribution echoes the sentiment of dedicated alums—a tradition that enriches the entire Notre Dame family.
Notre Dame’s President, Father John Jenkins recently acknowledged the impact donations to the Coaching Endowment Campaign have on Notre Dame Club Rowing’s student athletes.
Father Jenkins wrote:
You have my abiding gratitude for your recent gifts toward your donor advised fund and the endowment for the Notre Dame Rowing Club Coach. Your dedication to giving our student-athletes every opportunity to thrive—in competition, academics, character, and faith—is truly exemplary, and this gift will support the impactful coach-mentors that make such a difference in their lives. I cannot thank you enough for upholding Notre Dame’s mission to educate the whole person. You and your family are in my prayers, now and always.
In Notre Dame,Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.President
