Donations
Bedford Crew Club is a rowing program created in early 2010 as a 501(c)(3) organization that provides Bedford High School students an opportunity to participate in the rapidly growing sport of rowing.
Right now we charge $550 per athlete for each season (fall and spring). This cost covers expenses such as insurance, regatta fees, gas for the launches, coaching fees, boat repairs, miscellaneous equipment, and other operating expenses. These fees do not cover the costs of acquiring new boats, oars, launches, and other more costly equipment.
In order to pay for equipment, the team conducts fund raisers throughout the year and we rely on generous donations from individuals, businesses, and charitable organizations.
We have managed to acquire the basic equipment we need to get the current team out on the water rowing but we know we have a long way to go. Please consider supporting us any way you can. Any amount is appreciated.
The Fall 2010 season was our inaugural season on the water and we couldn’t have gotten this far without the encouragement and support we have received from the many groups and individuals that have generously donated equipment, space at their facilities, and their valuable time.
Here is a sampling of the equipment we will need in order to continue giving BHS students an opportunity to row.
