About
West Potomac Crew Club promotes, supports, and operates the rowing program at West Potomac High School (WPHS). We teach endurance, focus, discipline, teamwork, individual fitness and school spirit. WPHS Crew has been a part of the Fort Hunt/Mount Vernon community for over 48 years. We are a co-ed, varsity sport with 80 dedicated athletes, freshmen through seniors, competing each year against 40+ schools in the NCR. Our student athletes excel on the water and in the classroom; the team boasts the highest grade point average of any athletic team. West Potomac Crew requires immense dedication from both athletes and their families.
What I’m Raising Money For
We hold a club "Erg-a-thon" (a team race on rowing machines) to raise money for maintenance of our racing shells and trailer, seats, dock, and chase boats.
Your money goes directly toward keeping our equipment in shape for practice and racing competitions.
Go West Potomac Crew!
The 5th annual Crew Ergathon

Why You Should Give
Your sponsorship makes our season possible year after year! We proudly display our sponsors logos to advertise your business and support. Since we are a "club" sport, we receive NO financial support from the school or Fairfax County. All funds are raised through athlete fees, fundraisers and donations. Non-Profit --> Your Donations are TAX-deductible.

LAST CHANCE TO MAKE OUR GOAL!
Update from WEPO Crew Boosters
Today is the LAST DAY to donate to our Ergathon! We are about $3000 away from our goal of raising $17,500. This is money we need for our budgeted expenses to pay our wonderful coaches, regatta fees, boat repairs, equipment, storage containers, fuel, port-a-potty rentals, etc. ALL these things that we have to pay for as a club team because we receive NO money from the county or school to support our team. Please take a moment today and support these wonderful student athletes!!! Thank you!

WPHS Crew Ergathon-Please Help Us Meet Our Goal!
Update from WEPO Crew Boosters
What an exciting morning for West Potomac Crew! 53 of our team members joined together for some tough but friendly competition. It was an exciting exhibition of the effort they have put into their Winter Conditioning program as they get ready to begin on-the-water practices in two weeks. In two hours they erg-ed 643,744 meters!!! That's 400 miles --- all the way to Boston! The fundraising portion of our event continues for one more week. We are 57% of the way to our goal. The team receives NO funds or support from the school or county, we rely completely on fees and donations to pay for our wonderful coaches, regatta fees, equipment and repairs. These kids are working SO hard on their strength and conditioning so that they can be competitive this season, please support them with a TAX DEDUCTIBLE donation today!!

Crew Season is Starting!!! And I'm training hard!
Update from reedbeggs
Hi, I am rowing for the West Potomac Crew for the third year in a row. It has been such a great experience despite those March and April afternoons rowing on the Potomac River in the cold! We represent West Potomac High School, but do not receive any funding from the school or county - it is all up to us rowers and our parents! We have an "ergathon" coming up in the few weeks, which is one of our major fundraising events for the year. The entire team (60+ high schoolers) spend a Saturday rowing as fast as we can, competing on sprints and longer distances. It is a tough day, but great to be with the team and challenging ourselves. Please consider sponsoring me for the Ergathon - any donation would be appreciated and very helpful! Thanks, Reed
