Donate to CRLS Crew

Donate to CRLS Crew

We invite to support our team by contributing to regatta and race food, and other season team expenses.

For new and returning families we suggest a voluntary contribution of $75–$150 per athlete to help support our team throughout the season.

Your contribution helps keep our athletes fueled on long competition days and covers essential parent board expenses that allow us to provide the resources and support our rowers need to thrive.

We also invite our alumni, near and far, to support our team through tax-deductible donations via FOCA*.

Every contribution, at any level, makes a meaningful difference and helps keep CRLS Crew strong, accessible, and ready to compete.

There are two ways to donate to our team through FOCA:

  1. Via FOCA’s PayPal link or QR code below, with the option to pay via PayPal, Venmo, or debit/credit card; or
