On October 5th, we will be holding our largest (and some might say our most fun) fundraiser:
During the ERGATHON, our rowers will be challenged to do their personal best while raising money for the team.
Each rower is asking family, friends, local businesses, neighbors, etc. to sponsor them in this endeavor. Donors can support the athletes in one of TWO ways:
Donating a dollar amount that corresponds to a day on the athlete’s fundraising calendar (example: $5 for the 5th) OR a donation of any amount for the entire race.
(see PayPal and Venmo links below, make checks out to FHE Crew or cash. 100% of donations go to the team).
Rowing is one of the most enjoyable, yet expensive of all high school sports. Boats can cost upwards of $30,000! Additionally, we are responsible for the cost and upkeep of much of the equipment such as: oars, riggers, cox boxes, speaker systems, boat trailers, fuel, etc. Keeping and maintaining quality equipment helps our athletes to reach their greatest potential.
On the day of the ERGATHON, each rower will be part of a relay with a team goal of rowing 31 miles (that’s 50,000 meters for you landlubbers)!
There will be prizes awarded to the athletes who raise the highest donation amounts and other fun surprises during the event. A pizza lunch for all athletes will be provided by the FHE Crew Boosters Board.
