Personal Fundraising Page for Tara Battersby
Rowing for PCRA has become a huge part of my life and I've made so many great friends along the way. Working towards one common goal is empowering and motivates us to become stronger and faster together. We have been working so hard during winter training and it's almost time to go back on the water! Our ergathon goal is to raise money so that we can buy new shells to make our Spring season the best one yet. Even the smallest of donations adds up and any donation is greatly appreciated.
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
