It’s time to Row the Coast!
Maine has the 4th longest coastline of all 50 states. We are attempting to “row” that coastline! Yup, you heard it right. From Kittery to Calais is 5,597,000 meters. Why? Because we are aiming to turn those meters into dollars to buy new equipment- we need new grips for our currents sets of oars. We need new oars to replace some very, very old oars that are beyond repair! Our Varsity and Club teams and numerous Masters rowers have been on the ergs training all winter and spring for the on-the -water season which starts May 4th. Please make a donation now to reward them for meters already rowed or your dollars can challenge them to row more because in this case dollars equals meters.
Want to join the effort?
Make a donation to help us reach our goal. Every little bit counts! Each dollar represents 1000 meters, and $100 buys 100,000 meters! $200 buys 200,000 meters! You get the idea. Help us sprint to our$5,597 goal to buy new oars and other vital equipment!
You can email your meters to row@megunticookrowing. org Let them know if you will be rowing as an individual or to whom you would like to donate your meters. If you want to join a team, please include in your email the other team members names. Then spread the word to help fundraise. You can even just share this link on your social media page. rtc.megunticookrowing.org
Thank you! Like rowing it’s a team effort!
