Fundraising

Pioneer Rowing Club (PRC) strives to provide a number of fundraising opportunities to help keep the cost of rowing as low as possible. Rowing fees (general and travel assessments) and AAPS budget assistance do not necessarily cover the full cost of any particular rowing season. Therefore, we must constantly be engaged in fundraising. Some fundraising activities go to subsidize the entire team and its operations, while others provide opportunities for rowers to offset rowing general assessments. Both are equally important in maintaining the program and it is expected that all rowers and their families participate in as many fundraisers as possible.

We are always looking for new and effective fundraising ideas and volunteers. If you know of anyor would like to help out, please email Frank Rampton (rampfc@aol.com) or Susan Shields (pcnsshields@comcast.net).
