Walt Whitman Crew is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization that relies on the support and participation of its rowers, members, families and the community.
This year on February 12th, from 8 am - 2 pm, our team is setting a record by rowing 1 million meters on our "ergs" (or ergometer, indoor rowing machines) as a part of our inaugural erg-a-thon fundraiser. We are raising funds to support the running of our crew program and challenging ourselves to row as a team from Washington D.C. to Chicago (that's how far we will Erg on a combined basis that day!).
We would love for alumni, parents and friends to join us - either by joining in the fun and Erging with us at Glen Echo or supporting us financially as we row. Individual athletes from Whitman Crew are setting goals to row between 16,000 and 20,000 meters. Consider sponsoring an athlete by kilometers (1,000 meters) or by a set donation amount. You can also support the program through a donation from this page using the donate button below.
We have a goal to raise an unprecidented $30,000 this year and with your help, we can make this our best year yet. As an added incentive, donations to Walt Whitman Crew over $100 will be matched 1:1 to support Reach High Rowing in Baltimore, providing rowing scholarships and access to the sport for inner city youth.
PS alumni, parents and friends who would like to participate in the erg-a-thon either through joining the team in erging ( virtual or in person) and/ or through fundraising should contact Marianne Sullivan at mariannesullivanmd@icloud.com for more information.
