Why It Matters:

Legacy of Success: Skibbereen Rowing Club boasts a rich history of producing top-tier athletes, including Olympians such as Paul O’Donovan, Gary O'Donovan, Fintan McCarthy, Emily Hegarty and Aoife Casey all nurtured under the guidance of the esteemed Lightweight Coach Dominic Casey.
Community Impact: Your support directly impacts our ability to provide resources for young athletes and sustain our club's growth.
Volunteer Driven: We rely on the dedication of volunteers, the generosity of donors, and community grants to continue our mission. Skibbereen Rowing Club’s membership has grown significantly in recent years, driven largely by this success. Rowing equipment is expensive and the demand on it has never been so high with the club’s continued growth. We provide an excellent resource for young people in our community and rely heavily on the time dedicated by our volunteers and the generous donations from the public to keep it running. We would be delighted if you would consider getting behind us in this fundraising campaign.

Note: 100% of funds raised will be allocated towards purchasing new equipment for the club, ensuring the continued success of Skibbereen Rowing Club.
