The StFX University Rowing Club is a developing program whose objective is to support, promote,and advance the sport of rowing within both the university and surrounding community.  The Club is based out of Antigonish. StFX Rowing has progressed to become a competitive program and continues to develop elite athletes that compete on both the provincial and national levels.

The StFX University Rowing Club is a competitive team that follows intensive training schedules, but as a club, we receive limited funding. As our yearly funding constitutes a small fraction of the operating costs, we must raise our own funds to buy equipment and cover travel expenses. Individual athletes currently cover all their own regatta fees and traveling costs. As a club, we are a student run organization, which is self-administered by our own student executive in addition to our studies and training.

  Support is accepted at any giving level, including scheduled payments, one-time gifts and perpertual gifts. Our Advancement Department offers a simple online platform to accept gifts at any time of the year and offer tax receipts for your generosity. Gifts may also be designated to a specific Club sport team.
• Online 50/50 tickets
  The program is a virtual 50/50 fundraiser established to help STFX Athletics and XREC to raise funds for our varsity and club sport teams. Each week players will have the opportunity to activate a set of three numbers for $5.00 for a chance to win the weekly 50/50 pot. On Friday of every week a number will be randomly drawn and the winner will receive 50% of the revenue from that week's draw! Supporters may also selct which team/club they would like their funds directed to.
