We are raising funds to build a stronger fleet for High Point Rowing Club and we are off to a strong start.
High Point rowers have raised $9,450 of the target $25,000 for this year’s 100 kilometer Ergathon taking place on Saturday morning in the club’s indoor rowing studio at 124C Wade Street in Jamestown.
The purpose of this year’s Ergathon is to raise funds to upgrade the Club’s fleet of boats and equipment. We ask all our rowers, Masters and youth, to vigorously seek financial support from friends, neighbors and family. We hope you will support them!
Last year the High Point rowers raised over $21,346 and combined with Greensboro rowers for a total over $36,000. This allowed the team to purchase new shells, ergometers, and oars.
This year’s combined goal is $50,000.
Individual rowers who raise over $500 from family and friends will be recognized with some special exclusive apparel. Family’s who contribute over $125 will see their name proudly displayed on the team banner in the erg room and on race day at regattas.
“High Point rowers really step up for this vital event for the club,” says club founder Gene Kininmonth. “The Ergathon is not only the most important event we do for the development of our team, it is also one of the most fun events of the year.”
