Help the Indy Crew Team Buy a Boat!

The Independence High School Crew team is excited to hold our 4th Annual Erg-a-Thon on Wednesday April 22, 2026. Independence rowers will be at Indy from 4:30pm-6:30pm to row their max distance during their 20 minute slot. Each rower has set the goal of rowing 3,000-5,000 meters during this marathon of erging with a team goal of 100K meters.

Rowers are collecting donations and pledges from family, friends, and businesses to raise funds for essential equipment, including boats, oars, and ergometers. The Independence Crew team is fully self-funded and receives no financial support from the high school. Donations are tax-deductible.

How you can support a rower and the team:

Donate a flat amount to a rower or the team.
Pledge a specified amount per 100m rowed by an Individual or the team.*
Come out on April 22nd to cheer on the rowers!

We are proud of what we accomplished in our first three years with the generous support of the community. We are looking forward to another successful season ahead. Thank you for your support!

*For pledges, please email fundraise@independencecrew.org. After the Erg-a-Thon, you will be informed of the total meters your sponsored rower completed and can then submit your contribution. Any funds raised above the cost of the boat will be used for essential equipment, oars, and ergometers.

Independence Crew is a 501(c)(3) organization and is tax-exempt in Virginia.
