Ways to Help

We are a student-run organization. That means that we rely on the generosity of our sponsors for funding. This funding affects the quality of resources we can purchase, including aggregates, admixtures, and building materials, which directly affects our performance. We highly value any form of contribution, whether it comes in the form of monetary or material donation.

Donate Material

Are you a business that has unused materials from years past just sitting around your warehouse? As a student-run team we are always looking for various materials/tools to help construct the canoe. Whether it is a bag of Portland cement or some leftover low grit sandpaper we definitely could make use of it! Please contact us at asce@valpo.edu to see if your unused materials could help build a Concrete Canoe! Some specific things we are looking for are:

Lightweight Aggregates
Portland Cement and Pozzolan
Admixtures
Pigments
Paddles
Tools
Cement mixer
Airbrush gun
Life Jackets
2x4 and Plywood
Paints
Foam sheets
Sand paper

Donate Money

We thank you for considering making a contribution to our concrete canoe team. In an effort to make the process of giving to our team as streamlined and easy as possible, we have set up a page through GiveButter, which is a website we use at our University for fundraisers. Through this website, individual and corporate donors wishing to contribute to the team can use a major credit card to donate
