Thanks for visiting my page! Like the sport, this is a team effort; check out how my teammates are doing on the CRU 2017 Erg-a-thon Team Page!
My team has partnered with Razoo this year and 100% of your donation goes to the fundraiser! On checkout, you’ll be presented with a suggested donation to support Razoo which you can set as you see fit. This amount can be amended, but remember they’re supporting us!
I’d like to share with you a little bit about an organization that’s important to me, Chicago Rowing Union. The mission of CRU is to promote the sport of rowing to the LGBT community and its Allies. CRU provides inclusive educational and competitive programs that foster teamwork, personal growth, health, and fitness.
CRU makes the sport of rowing accessible to a wider audience by creating a welcoming culture and by keeping dues low with additional assistance available no-questions-asked. CRU is primarily funded by members’ dues, but in order to keep fees reasonable and maintain our equipment, we rely on contributions from you.
Your donation will be used to discount the fees for a member in need, maintain equipment, and keep the team running. Our equipment is modest and our board is made up entirely of unpaid volunteers. Your contribution makes a big difference and will be put to good use!
Suggested giving levels:
$30 – Provide financial assistance for a CRU member in need.
$60 – New lifejackets for safety! Receive a CRU Magnet!
$120 – A new oar! Receive a CRU hat or pack!
$200 – Get our boats to a Regatta! Receive a CRU T-Shirt!
$350 – Fill our boat with new shoes! Name a seat with an engraved plaque on our boat! Name it after you, your favorite rower, a loved one, a pet, or just include some words of encouragement.
$500 – Register us to race! Name a seat and receive a CRU polo shirt!
My (and the whole team’s) gratitude is included with ANY donation!
