Two days after earning a record number of spots at US Rowing Youth Nationals, coaches watched as an immense red oak tree fell on our stalwart boat trailer. Fortunately, no one was hurt (other than the trailer) and no boats were lost. That's the good news. The bad news is that the top rails of the trailer were crushed and the whole thing is now completely unusable.

The Westerville Crew boat trailer that has been smashed by a fallen tree.

The worst part of this already-awful situation is that the club was depending on this very trailer to transport boats to Florida for Nationals in two weeks. A couple of local clubs have already offered to help us out for Nationals.

Replacing our trailer isn't part of our budget, so we're asking from more help from our community. We're accepting donations toward the replacement cost and appreciate any and all assistance. No amount is too small.

Thank you for your help!
