Become a Friend of Avon High School Crew Team

Avon High School’s crew team was established in 2007. From that first season on, 150 Avon Students participate in either fall or spring taking advantage of the opportunity to participate in a unique and challenging sport that exemplifies teamwork, sportsmanship, leadership, physical conditioning and commitment.

Together a group of dedicated visionaries, hard-working student-athletes, extraordinary volunteer coaches, fantastic volunteers, and generous families and donors are working to build a successful rowing program that will help steer young lives in a positive direction.

In 2007-08 Avon rowers began to compete successfully with established high school crews from throughout the region and the state, and our students are looking forward to participating in a full competitive fall and spring racing schedule. In 2010 5 of 8 boats made it to the finals in the State Championships. In 2011 Novice Girls won - with your help and the team's enthusiasm, hopefull a sign of things to come.

PRIVATE FUNDING IS ESSENTIAL

Our new crew needs your support to maintain our growing fleet, meet operational needs, and acquire the new and used equipment required to build a successful program. Competitive rowing is an expensive sport and the team relies almost entirely on private funds to support our mission for the benefit of Avon students. For example, the cost of one new, fully equipped racing boat is more than $38,000.

Due to the continued tremendous interest in the sport, the need for new boats and equipment to ensure all interested students may participate is significant. Private funds are also needed to ensure adequate coaching support and to assist students and families for whom pay-to-play fees may be prohibitive.

There are numerous sponsorship opportunities available providing all donors with meaningful recognition and excellent exposure and visibility. Rowing enthusiasts are typically well-educated and active individuals whose families and friends also surround themselves with people and products that demonstrate the same values as they do. We hope that you will take full advantage and consider becoming a sponsor by partnering with Avon High School's Crew!

Gifts of all sizes are welcome and appreciated.
