Concrete Canoe

A Project by Concrete Canoe

Your generosity helps us continue doing what most people think is impossible — making concrete float.

Because of your support, our sub-teams can function at their best and design our most innovative canoe ever this spring. Your gift covers the software, materials, and paddling practices that make our design, construction, and competition efforts possible.

Each year, our team faces new challenges as we push the boundaries of creativity and engineering. With your help, we can continue to meet higher expectations, adopt new technologies, and increase our spirit of cooperation.

Every dollar from this campaign goes directly toward improving team operations and building this year’s canoe for the Concrete Canoe Competition.

Your support doesn’t just help us build a boat — it helps us build skills, friendships, and a lasting legacy of innovation at Cornell.

$10

Safety Supplier!

Thank you for donating $10! This will allow CCC to purchase vital personal protection equipment that is necessary to protect our team members while they work with concrete and its derivatives!

$25

Foundation Builder!

Thank you for donating $25! With this, CCC can purchase the laboratory equipment it needs to facilitate the testing, production, and creation of its best concrete mix and mold possible!

$50

Paddling Patron!

Thank you for your generous $50 donation! With this support, CCC can cover the necessary fees needed for paddling training programs on Cayuga Lake! By harnessing these programs, CCC can continue to train new generations of paddling team members and give them an invaluable edge during the paddling aspect of competition.

$100

Wave Maker!

Innovation requires fast-moving adjustments and rigorous testing. With your generous $100 donation, CCC can cover the costs needed to purchase the crucial ingredients required for creating the most lightweight and structurally integral concrete mixture possible!

$250

Mold Master!

Every canoe we create requires an astonishing amount of physical labor from our mold team. With your generous donation of $250, CCC can purchase specialized wood, high-density foam, and other materials to boost the quality of our mold, canoe-carrier, and casting table!

$500

Concrete Contributor!

Prototyping is an extremely integral part of creating a canoe. Therefore, it is immensely helpful to have a virtual model for our analysis team to test different hull designs and material properties. With your gracious and generous offer of $500, CCC can purchase licenses to premium modeling software to improve our design capabilities and make sure our canoe places as high as possible in competition!

$1,000

Hull Hero!

Our annual competition is hosted by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and we work all year to create the strongest, lightest, fastest concrete canoe to best represent Cornell in the civil engineering space. Competition provides a space for team members to network with professionals and demonstrate their new engineering skills. Your incredibly generous donation of $1000 can cover the costs of sending multiple CCC members to competition at the regional level and potentially to the national ASCE symposium!
