The Hillsborough High School Rowing Club (HHSRC), a team of 51 student-athletes was hit hard by Hurricane Helene, which damaged and ruined much of our essential rowing equipment beyond repair. Now, we need your help to get back on the water!
We've launched a GoFundMe to raise funds to repair and replace damaged boats, oars, ergs, and other critical gear. Every donation helps us rebuild and keeps our team going strong! Please consider donating and sharing to support our incredible student-athletes as they recover from this setback and continue to pursue their racing goals.
HHSRC is a non-profit 501(C)(3) tax-exempt organization. Donations to the Club are tax-deductible under the IRS Code. HHSRC is associated with Hillsborough High School, a Title 1 school in the city of Tampa. Our mission is to provide the opportunity to join a rowing team to Hillsborough High School students, middle school students, and homeschool students residing in Hillsborough County to develop their physical talents and competitive spirit while learning teamwork and having fun!
