SPRING CREW FUNDRAISERS
Parents and Rowers :
Welcome to the
Burnt Hills Rowing Association Spring Crew Season!!
Fundraising during the
crew seasons are no different than any other sport
or club. They are mandatory and a great necessity
to the team. Signing up to participate in crew
also means fundraising; they are a package deal!
It is hard to imagine that
with our large beautiful boathouse that we would
need to fundraise. Unfortunately, the proceeds
for fundraising do not go toward the boathouse, they
are used for equipment purchases and repairs. Due
to successful fundraising last year and this past
fall season, we were able to purchase a girls varsity
8, boys varsity 8 and 4 singles. This enables
us to stay competitive and keep our rowers safe. This
in turn allows the better used boats to be passed
down through the club and everyone wins! Due
to our competitive standings, we are now on the “map” and
are visited by college scouts.
Each season, like other
sports and clubs we require all rowers to participate
in 2 fundraisers. Our first one will be candy bar
sales. Each rower will receive 2 boxes of Gertrude
Hawke candy bars of 48 bars each. The rowers
will sell the bars for $1/each. The payment is due
at the time of registration. The rowers will
receive their boxes at the end of March. Since
you paid for the candy up front, you will keep the
money when you sell the candy. You may choose to
do the buyout due at the time of registration for
$50.
The other spring fundraiser
is the spring plant sale. Rowers will receive
in the mail order forms to take orders. These
will go out in the beginning of April. Order
forms and money will be due at the end of April. Your
customers will pick up their own flower orders at
Pedrick's starting May 1 through the end
of May. The buyout for this fundraiser, due
at registration, is $100.
The club relies
on these fundraisers! Rowers and
their families work hard and it is not fair to
those who fundraise if you do not! Please
work as a team on the water and off and keep our
club safe and competitive!!

The boxes of candy bars
will be delivered the week of March 10th. The
rowers will receive their 2 boxes at the end of
that week or the beginning of the week of the 17th.
We will also
be selling the candy bars at Wal-Mart on April
20th and the 27th between 10am - 2pm. We will
need 3-4 rowers and parents for each shift. We
have ordered extra boxes for these days. There
is a sign up sheet on the fundraising bulletin
board for time slots for these two Sundays. The
Modified will be there on the 20th and the rest
of the team will be responsible for the 27th. We
will need several parent volunteers to assist the
rowers during these time slots on both days! Please
check the board for information regarding this
and all other fundraising events.
Look for your order
packet in the mail the first week of April. This
will give each rower the entire month of April
to sell plants. The
order forms and money are due April 25th. Starting
May 1st, your customers can begin picking up their
plants from Pedrick's Florist. If you have
sold to customer that may have trouble
picking up their plants, you may want to offer
to pick up their plants for them. Remember: Several
other groups use this same fundraiser, at
the same time, so get out and sell early. Remind
your customers that Pedrick's green house
closes toward the end of May, beginning of
June, so they need to get their plants before then.
If you would like to
order spring plants to help support the Burnt Hills
Rowing team, you may download the order form and
send it with payment to Mau Piel at the address
on the form, or call Renee Ramsey (384-3376) to
place your
order.
If you have any questions
regarding fundraising, please contact Renee Ramsey
by
