All donations to TCYR are greatly appreciated. It is a tradition in the rowing community that major donations for acquiring boats allow the benefactor to name the boat. We honor this tradition by giving boat naming rights to donations of $5000 or more. Other donation levels provide the opportunity for the naming of boat seats, oars, and the provision of an engraving on a plaque displayed at the boat house.
