PLEASE SUPPORT OUR 24 HOUR ERGOTHON FUNDRAISER!
Thanks to all of you who came out to support our annual Fall fundraiser. Our goal was to raise $6,000 to help us purchase a new boat and allow us to accommodate more rowers in our program. Rowers kept an ergometer (rowing machine) spinning for 24-hours at Haggens in Lake Stevens. We enjoyed meeting everyone who stopped by as we took turns rowing 30-minute shifts from 4pm Friday, October 9 to 4pm Saturday, October 10.
Donations in any amount are still welcome. Checks may be mailed to: North Cascades Crew, P.O. Box 1506, Lake Stevens, WA. 98258. Thank you!
