Personal Fundraising Page for Miles and Parker Cornman
Hi,
Thank you for coming to our fundraising page! We have been rowing since our 7th grade summer and are now juniors in high school. Rowing is more that a sport for us, it is an integral part of our lives. Through rowing we have learned about discipline, hard work, accomplishment and teamwork. These are things that we take with us off the water and into the classroom and our everyday lives.
We love being a part of PCRA.! Being part of a community club means we have also had to learn how to work for our boats and the other equipment we need to be fast on the water. To earn your support for our biggest fundraiser of the year we will be rowing on an indoor rowing machine in teams of 3. We expect to row 20,000 meters (or about 12 miles) during our 90 minutes! You can sponsor us by the meter rowed or as an outright donation.
Thank you so much for your support!
Miles and Parker Cornman.
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
