FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
A new pier for Canottieri Firenze: together to bring rowing back to the Arno
The flood in March played a nasty trick on us.
The fury of the Arno took away our rowing pier, seriously hampering the daily sports activities of the Società Canottieri Firenze, especially those dedicated to the youngest.
That pier was not just a structure: it was the starting point of our outings, the symbol of our bond with the river, the place where every day children, teenagers and enthusiasts prepared to live their passion for rowing.
But we are not stopping. We are already working to restore it as soon as possible and allow everyone to return to the water, safely.
To do this, we need the help of our community: members, former athletes, friends, families and anyone who believes in the values of sport, tradition and resilience.
