 In November, Capital Crew Boosters Club hosts a fundraising event called the Ergathon. Both the varsity and the novice athletes are expected to participate. The funds generated by the Ergathon helps Capital Crew Boosters Club purchase new boats, oars, equipment, food (breakfast and lunch), calendars, hospitality tent for parents at major regattas and a reduction in costs for the travel teams (hotels, airfare, food, vans).
“Ergs” are stationary rowing machines that measure the time, power output and meters each athlete rows. Our team goal is to row 1,000,000 meters in seven hours. Each rower requests his or her friends and relatives to make a tax-deductible donation to Capital Crew Boosters Club in exchange for the athlete's promise to "go all out" on an ergometer,
The Ergathon is a lot of fun, but the success relies upon the donations we receive. Your tax-deductible contributions to Capital Crew Boosters Club is greatly appreciated.
