Hey, it's Ben Sperry.
This past winter I joined the Chicago Rowing Foundation. I am really enjoying the competitive rowing, the workouts, and making new friends as a part of Row Chicago West.
CRF is a never uses seasonal dues to purchase equipment. We have a big wish list for this year's ergathon:
- West: more boats, additional dock space, additional storage container, new oars (all dollars raised by West families will directly be allocated towards West needs)
In order to meet our equipment needs, we need to raise $120,000! This year, every single dollar raised for the Ergathon will be matched so every donation you collect is DOUBLED. The matching dollars will be allocated to CRF's scholarship program, continuing our tradition of providing rowing to any Chicagoland youth regardless of their ability to pay. So, if we raise $120K for equipment, we also fund $120K into our scholarship fund!
Would you consider donating to our cause?
The team and I would really appreciate all the help we can get to reach our goals this year.
