Send CSU Long Beach Rowers to National Regatta

Hello, my name is Scott Erwin. I'm the Director of Rowing and the Men's Head Rowing Coach at CSU Long Beach. We are not part of the Athletic Department; we are a Club Sport on campus. That means, for the most part, the student-athletes self-fund the rowing program's budget with their club membership dues. We are a smaller program competing side by side with larger funded rowing programs.

We are looking to raise funds to race at the ACRA National Championships Regatta in Tennessee, May 14th-May 18th. Last season, we sent two Men's 4+ to ACRA. Both did well, with one of the 4+'s coming in 5th in the country, fighting through a field of 33 schools. This season, we want to send boats from both the Men's and Women's Teams. We are looking to send a total of 5 boats this season.

The funds raised will go to pay for airline tickets, hotels, rental vehicles, and regatta entry fees. The cost is about $1000 per student-athlete. Our ability to send all of these athletes will directly depend on how much money we raise. Every dollar donated helps!!!!
