Boat Naming Opportunities

Westerville Crew runs a variety of programs serving the local rowing community. Member dues and fees alone are not sufficient to cover the cost of the programs. We rely on volunteers and contributors, both at the individual and corporate level. One option for contributing to WRC is through the naming of an existing boat or associated equipment. WRC provides an opportunity for donors to name new boats as they are added to the fleet, and to sponsor individual oars or seats, as well as the opportunity to name some existing shells and equipment.

Westerville Crew is a 501c3 charitable organization--talk to your tax advisor about the benefits of donating.

Cost for naming rights:

Single scull ............... $1,500 Double/Pair............... $2,750 Quad/Four ............... $4,500 Eight....................... $6,500

Benefits to naming of boats, seats, and oars are as follows:

• ●  Exposure on Hoover Reservoir 6 times a week for 10-20hrs.

• ●  Christening Ceremony for Boats

• ●  Your chosen Board Approved name on our equipment for a minimum of 5 years

• ●  Your name on our website as a contributor

  We compete at many national regattas where you can gain additional exposure such as Head of the Charles, USRowing Club Nationals and USRowing Youth Nationals.

  IN CLUB BOAT DEDICATIONS

  In dedicating club boats, the Board may seek to recognize former or log-time members of the organization, free of any actual cost to the member candidate or sponsor, and taking into consideration the following factors:

  1. A member’s long term voluntary contributions/services to the club;

  2. A member’s racing or other extraordinary rowing achievements;

  3. An event, person, or entity of historical significance to the club.

  4. Aligning with rowing tradition, shells will not be named for existing paid club coaches or staff instead reserving naming for honorariums in addition to the above mentioned factors..
