Personal Fundraising Page for Jillian Rivera
Please help me raise money for racing equipment for PCRA! The cost to join the racing team is low, and we still do not deny anyone access to the team if they cannot afford the fee. Rowing is such an important sport, because the people on my team are like my family. All the money that we raise for new equipment is being fundraised by the rowers ourselves, because we want to work to earn the money we raise. However, we will gladly accept donations.Two of my teammates and I will be rowing approximately 20,000 meters on an erg (rowing machine) to raise money. Thank you for supporting my team and giving us a better chance of racing competitively!
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
