About
MAC Rowing is a nationally prominent club rowing team for high school kids in the L.A. area, with over 120 athletes from 25+ area high schools. We have a lot of fun, we work really hard and we go very, very fast.
What I’m Raising Money For
My team is raising money for a number of things, including a sleek new 8-oared racing shell. These boats are state-of-the-art. They're mostly made of carbon fiber and are designed to be stiff, light and fast in the water. They're also very expensive, which is why we need your help!
Why You Should Give
Winning boat races isn't what this is all about. It's what we are learning about ourselves and about being a part of something larger than ourselves. It's about finding strength we never knew we had, about overcoming obstacles that seemed insurmountable at first and about becoming our best version of ourselves. It's about friendship and family and perseverance and self-sacrifice and hard work. We do all that in carbon fiber racing boats. So you're not just contributing to a boat that might help us win a race some day - you're helping us grow and thrive and develop the confidence, strength and resilience that is characteristic not just of good athletes, but of exceptional people.

Madelaine Cookson Marina Aquatic Center (MAC) Junior Rowing, Los Angeles CA
Update from Madelaine Cookson
I would appreciate your support in helping the Marina Aquatic Centre's Junior rowing program in Marina del Rey. As part of the women's junior varsity boat this Fall, we have had several strong performances both here in the West and in Boston, MA too. We are training 6 days a week for more than 2 hours every day to earn another trip back to the US Junior National Rowing Championships which will be held on the West Coast in Sacramento, CA this year. This is my 5th year of rowing with MAC (closing in on 85,000 miles commuting back and forth to the rowing club alone) and the program has been very important to me. The program has provided me with summer rowing opportunities to compete in France, Canada and at the US National level. The program has also provided me with the chance to attend a strong university science program next year and to compete as a Division 1 athlete. The money we earn will go towards funding new equipment such as boats, oars and rowing machines.
