About
In 2012, after several summers of coaching juniors at the Rivanna Rowing Club, I founded the Albemarle HS Crew team with six athletes. Our crew has quickly become an Elite competitor amongst our peers. In six short years, the rowers at AHS have become champions. Aside from winning numerous Gold and Silver medals, our rowers have discovered a passion for rowing that will last a life-time. The rowing lifestyle takes dedication and grueling training sometimes in cold, wet and windy conditions. Our team is made up of an extraordinary group of students. Not only are our rowers exceptional athletes, they are supportive, intelligent, kind beings that strive to give back to each other, the community by volunteering their time at local food banks and nationally by raising money for Para-Rowing events.
What I’m Raising Money For
In addition to regatta fees, travel costs, training fees and ongoing organizational costs, rowing requires equipment. This year we are raising money for eight new oars costing around $500 per set and for two new SpeedCoach units costing $400 each. The SpeedCoach is a digital piece of training equipment that helps our coaches record speed strokes and heart rates. We are also raising money to fund our long term capital goal of purchasing two new quads at over $15k per rowing shell.
Why You Should Give
It's simple. We rely on your support to keep our organization rowing. As a varsity club sport, our club is 100% self-funded with no assistance from our local school. Our existence is dependent on athlete fees, the support of our loved ones, followers, enthusiasts and on our community. We are very, very thankful for your donation. Albemarle High School Crew Boosters is a registered 501(c)3 and the tax ID is 47-2197483.
