“The Chicago Rowing Foundation has been instrumental in my development into the person I am today. As an introductory rowing program and an elite level high school team, I could not have asked for a better program to be situated in. I will always remember the rain, snow and blisters that we came across out on the waters of the Chicago river, which sharpened our stroke and camaraderie. Ms. Bermingham is one of the many reasons this environment has been so prestigious and welcoming. I hope that rowers of the Chicago Rowing Foundation will appreciate the work that she's done.”

"Affectionately named Suko, my go-to second mom gave me immeasurable guidance and encouragement throughout the college process. She invested so much of her own time and energy into helping me, even accompanying me on a college visit. She instilled confidence and provided the emotional support I needed in one of my first big decisions as a young adult. She has always treated me like family as she does with so many others, and I will forever be grateful to have her in my life!"
