Podium Day 2026: ALL IN

On April 28, 2026, the rowing community will once again come together for Podium Day, a 24-hour giving campaign dedicated to supporting the U.S. National Teams.  More than a fundraiser, Podium Day is a shared moment of purpose, bringing together athletes, families, fans, and supporters to invest in the future of American rowing.

This year carries particular significance as the national team pushes toward the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. With athletes training every day to gain a competitive edge, each donation and every donor play a meaningful role in helping turn that effort into podium finishes.  All in takes all of us. 

Building on Record-Breaking Momentum

Podium Day 2025 set a new benchmark as the most successful grassroots giving campaign in USRowing history. Together, the community raised $89,161 through 135 gifts, representing supporters across 35 states. Highlights included:

• 19 gifts of $1,000 or more
• A median gift of $105, underscoring broad participation
• Nine new recurring donors joining the effort

These results reflect the strength and commitment of the rowing community—and what’s possible when that community comes together.

Fueling the Road to LA28

Every dollar raised on Podium Day directly supports the U.S. National Teams, from expanding access to training resources to developing the next generation of elite athletes. As the journey to Los Angeles continues, this collective investment is essential to sustaining momentum and achieving success on the world stage.

Join the Movement

On April 28, the message is clear: be part of it. Whether making a first gift or continuing your support, every contribution brings our athletes one step closer to the podium.

Together, we can transform dedication into results and help power the next generation of champions. It takes all of us.
