Our community is our strength

The San Diego Crew Classic is only as successful as the community behind it. Every year, this event receives support from programs and individuals across the country. Sponsorship commitments from these dedicated people allow us to continue to run one of the most exciting and iconic rowing events in the world, and to give back to our community.

If you do not wish to become a sponsor of our event, but still wish to donate to our longevity and ability to give back, please consider a donation.

BRONZE SPONSORS

Carley’s Angels

Liz and Michael Copley in memory of their daughter Carley, a brave 3-year-old who succumbed to leukemia in 1996, have been extraordinary supporters of the Crew Classic and the Carley Cup.  They feel that “in giving life her best effort, Carley remains a winner forever, and the Cup is a reminder that a part of winning is sharing your talent and achievements with those less fortunate.” Carley’s sister and three brothers, and Liz and Michael, continue to be active in the community. Young patients being treated at Rady Children’s Hospital and their families continue to enjoy Carley’s Magical Gardens and the Carley Copley Hematology/Oncology Clinic — both gifts from the Copley family to the community.
