Please help PCRA raise money for our upcoming season!
PCRA is had its annual ergathon this past Saturday to raise money for our upcoming season, and it went very well! The money will go towards new equipment and other expenses.
There is still time to help our team by donating, please consider it.
We have a very ambitious goal this year of $75,000. Please help me raise money to support our amazing team!
There is more information about the specifics of the team, sponsorship options, and the event itself down below.
Thank you!
Thank you for your support in helping us meet our ambitious annual fundraising goal of $75,000.00 by March 6th. PCRA’s class fees cover operating expenses, but our equipment is purchased exclusively through fundraising.
This year, we aim to purchase much needed, new racing shells for our club and well as sorely needed spare parts to repair and maintain our fleet!
A new racing shell costs between $20,000 and $ 40,000 depending on the size and manufacturer, and is hand crafted with carbon fiber.
Pelham Community Rowing Association is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit and as such your donation is fully tax deductible. We will be happy to furnish receipts for donations.
We expect the average distance rowed by our athlete’s team of 3 to be 20,000 m during their allotted 90 minutes. Our athletes vary greatly in age, size and experience (7th-12th grade) and results will likely range between 18,000m and 24,000m. Your sponsorship is per 1000 m. Most sponsors will pledge between $5 and $50 per 1000m
Example:
You sponsor your athlete’s team $5 per 1000m. Your athlete’s team rows 20,000m.
Your pledge total would be $100.00
