Celebrating 20 years of Ridgeback Rowing

For 20 years, Ontario Tech Rowing has been defined by commitment, resilience, and teamwork. From early mornings on the water to championship races, our student-athletes have built a program grounded in excellence and a community that extends far beyond graduation.
Today, we invite you to help shape what comes next.
20th Anniversary Campaign - be part of the boat
To celebrate 20 years of Ridgeback Rowing, we are raising funds to purchase a midweight coxed four, a boat that will carry the next generation of student-athletes forward.
This milestone boat will be christened in honour of our 20th anniversary, and alumni and supporter names will be featured on the deck.
Every time it launches, it will carry your legacy with it.
Our goal
With more than 350 alumni, this is a goal we can achieve together.
A gift of any size makes a difference and participation from our community is what will bring this boat to life
Giving options
In honour of 20 years, consider:
- $20/month
- $200 one-time
- Or a gift that is meaningful to you
All donor names will be included on the boat. Make your gift today and help launch this next chapter of Ontario Tech Rowing.
All donations of $10 or more will receive a charitable receipt. If you would prefer to donate a different way or have any questions please contact advancement@ontariotechu.ca.
Credit card donations
Our commitment is to ensure a sustainable, transparent, and efficient philanthropic program. To help achieve this, 5% of donations to expendable funds, with the exception of student financial support, are used to partially offset the costs of receipting, administering, tracking and distributing funds. Thank you for your support.
