The 2016 SARA Endowment Campaign, which took place from April 1st - June 23rd, was a tremendous success, generating over $75,000!
We well exceeded all of our 2016 goals, which is more than we could ever ask for. The 2016 campaign was certainly one for the record books that will be hard to beat with the following records set this year:
Total Amount Raised (during a single campaign): $75,016
Average Donation: just over $350
Contributions over $500: 50
Contributions over $1,000: 24
Number of contributing Alumni and Friends of Syracuse Rowing: 211
Participating Class Years: 59 (with 40 straight class years donating - 1977 through 2016)
This year's competition between the class eras was particularly intense. Once again, the class years of 1995-1999 prevailed as the winners with 35 contributors raising $16,631. Congrats to class captain Jason Premo '98 and his teammates for making it happen!

THANK YOU!
As of June 30, 2016, the SARA Endowment has grown in value to over $450,000. Since its inception in 2010, over 400 people have contributed with 250 contributing more than once and over 100 people contributing $1,000 or more. Without the strong and continued support of our alumni and friends none of this would be possible.
On behalf of the Syracuse Alumni Rowing Association and the SU Coaching Staff, we would like to THANK YOU for contributing to the 2016 SARA Men's Endowment Campaign, from our oldest participating alumnus, George Richards (class of 1948), to our youngest participating alumni, Tom Johnson and James Schiera (class of 2016). Your financial support ensures the long term continuation and competitiveness of Syracuse Men's Rowing.
