Fundraising is an essential part of our club. It allows us to provide better equipment and facilities while making
the rowing experience more accessible to all youth by keeping membership fees low.
The club will hold its 4th annual ergathon on Saturday, March
29, 2008 starting at 9 a.m. at the BonTon Court
at Eastview Mall in Victor to raise funds through rower sponsorship.
The Row for Community ergathon raises
funds for the
Perinton Food Shelf as well as for much-needed crew
equipment. Additional information - and an
online
donation form - are available on our
Row for
Community 2008 page.
We appreciate the generous contributions of sponsors to our annual fall Lift Bridge Regatta
(LBR) to help make the event a community success. When you visit our 2006 LBR
sponsors and our
2007 sponsors, please tell them you saw them on our website.
Our next Lift Bridge Regatta is scheduled for Sunday,
September 21, 2008.
Our 5th annual car wash was held on September 15, 2007 at
Key Bank in Perinton to raise funds for boats and equipment. Pre-sale tickets
were available.
On June 23, 2007, FCC held a jewelry and cookbook
fundraiser at the FCC boathouse. Proceeds went to FCC to
purchase and maintain crew equipment and to Hillside
Children's Center.
Private donations help to maintain and expand our
program.
We appreciate the generous contributions of our donors and
acknowledge them on our Donors
page.
The rowers have the task to collect returnable bottles and cans (or the receipts for them) from their
neighborhoods. Monies go toward the
buying fuel for the launch boats used by coaches during
on-the-water practices.FCC has designated the new EZ Bottle and Can (http://www.ezreturn.org/) location at 1259 Fairport Road
(between Jefferson Rd. and the railroad overpass, opposite Dryclean Express) as our new dropoff point.
Details for FCC members are available
HERE. A sign with FCC’s name is posted on the wall at EZ Bottle and Can, so our friends and neighbors can easily donate
to FCC too.
We initiated a capital campaign in 2002 to raise funds to build a
boathouse in Perinton Park in 2003. The boathouse has been in use since May 2003. However, funds are still needed to finish it.
