Proud To Be A Rat
-
Established in 1979 as part of the University of Minnesota Water Ski Club, the Twin Cities River Rats have a rich history. Starting on Lake Independence, they evolved from exhibition shows in the 1980s to hosting the first-ever Minnesota State Show Ski Tournament in 1992. Relocating to the Mississippi River in 1996, they garnered success, winning the Midwest Regional Tournament in 1999, and making their National Show Ski Tournament debut. Since then, the team has won Midwest Regionals seven times! The team's dedication is evident through numerous awards, record crowds in 2013, and a commitment to community service. The Twin Cities River Rats continue to make waves as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, showcasing creativity, athleticism, and a strong sense of community

Creating our "stage" show is a collective effort, with numerous dedicated individuals working tirelessly all winter to enhance our performance. Costumes, often overlooked but immensely important, ensure visibility during home shows, and significantly impact our scores at tournaments. Your sponsorship would greatly assist in repairing costumes, addressing frequent holes, and replacing those showing signs of fading and wear, contributing to the overall excellence of our performances.
-
Youth Development

Water skiing is a sport that brings families together, and your support can help nurture our youth talent.

Safety is our top priority, and in the rare event of an injury, preparation is key. Your sponsorship directly contributes to ensuring our team's well-being.

Your support helps us maintain a secure environment for everyone involved.
