Almost all of the equipment expenses are funded by the Oakcrest Crew Booster Club. Some ways your efforts and contributions will help our Oakcrest High School Rowing Team...
Provide funds for the payments for our new racing shells from Vespoli. Each new 8 boat costs $26,000 or more. Fours cost around $16,000. We are currently conducting fundraisers to make payments on our boats. The Oakcrest Crew Booster Club makes monthly installment payments for our equipment. Sponsorship packets are available: e-mail falconcrew@comcast.net for additional information.
Help sponsor an ergometer machine for the Oakcrest Erg and conditioning area. Each new ergometer cost $850+.
Provide funds to help defray the expenses of our volunteer assistant coaches.
Help maintain and repair launches, practice shells, racing shells and boathouse equipment.
Coaches can always use experienced boaters to help maintain equipment.
We will need to borrowing or purchase new launches for practice, so if you have one, please consider loaning one to the Crew program for the spring season. E-mail the webmaster if you can help with this.
Donate food and beverages for our regatta season (March - June). We need sports drinks and healthy foods for our hard working, dedicated athletes.
