Michigan Rowers frequently volunteer in the Ann Arbor community. The University of Michigan's Athletic Department has long-standing ties with C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, one of the nation's leading pediatric health care institutions, and Michigan Rowers regularly visit children at Mott and fundraise for the hospital. In addition, the Michigan Rowing team recently began working with Girls on the Run, an organization that encourages healthy habits and an active lifestyle for girls, ages 8 - 12. Michigan Rowers also are pen pals to elementary school children, regular visitors to senior homes, and leaders of the new University of Michigan student chapter of WaterCan, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing clean water, basic sanitation, and hygiene education to people living in poverty around the world.
