[OUWC] ERG-A-THON Fundraiser!

[Driskell, Cheyenne]

Hello my favorite humans,


             First- miss you fellas and can't wait to see you.


             Second- We are going to be hosting another fundraiser that will go DIRECTLY to your dues for Spring Break! (yay).


OUWC is hosting it's first ever Erg-A-Thon!! It will be on FEBRUARY 19th from 11:30 - 5 pm. This fundraiser is similar to other -A-Thons, as in you will get your friends and family to pledge money to the amount of kilometers you will erg. I predict that every person on this team will get $50 so please make this amount a goal for yourself! The higher expectations that you have, the more you will raise. (aka the less you have to spend [cid:f7708cd3-b4d2-4066-aa97-e974aa3aa64a] )


Basically, you will be rowing for ONE hour. This is at your own speed, own stroke rate, however far you want to go etc. You will be asking friends/ family to donate either PER KILOMETER rowed or a SET donation. Per kilometer would be: Joan donated $5 per kilometer I row. If I end up rowing 5 kilometers therefore Joan will owe me $25 when the fundraiser is over. If your donor chooses a set donation they will just owe you that amount. Example: Joan circles "set donation" and pledges $5; she will only owe a total of $5. It is your job to explain this to your friends, they should understand what they are pledging once they write their name and etc. on your paper.

It is also your job to COLLECT your own money. We will be making copies of the pledge sheets to ensure that myself and Ben both know what each rower should be earning and you will know who you should collect your money from. The dollar amount will be due at a determined time later in the week and they are expected to be turned in that way we can take that amount off of your spring break costs.


On your pledge sheet, be sure to put your goal for rowing. People don't know how much to donate because they really don't know how much we could row in one hour. (Maybe they think an hour is a long time and this will scare them from making a large donation). For example, my goal will probably be 10 kilometers. I will be sure to tell my friends that so they know what I might cap out around. There is a line for your goal so you won't forget this.

Each of you have an already assigned time you will be rowing which I will attach in this email. This is important to know in advanced that way you can encourage friends to come watch if you want!! If you have any questions at all please text me, or if you think it is a question that everyone might be confused on text the GroupMe. I also have HouseParty if any one wants to hear me explain how everything will work before returning to Athens. I am attaching the pledge sheet, letter, and the hours you will be rowing in this email. Feel free to check them out!


PS my number is 937-726-2498 for those who don't have it yet and will need it.
