Welcome to new parents and rowers and thank you to all returning rowers and family members for a great season last year. We are very proud of our rowers and appreciate your hard work, dedication and commitment to the sport of rowing.
Each race day (about 8 times during the season), we set up tents at the race site, prepare hot and cold food and serve all our rowers and their families throughout the day. Food is ready when the first busload of rowers arrives, and continues till the last race in the afternoon. With everyone's participation, we manage to take down the tents, pack the trailer, clean our site, and be headed for home within 45 minutes of our last race.
The Kearny High Crew Parents have been successful in providing for our rower athletes thanks to the help and participation from parents. These costs are not covered by the Board of Education. You will be asked to directly fund the food program for the rowers. We collect $50.00 for each rower (about $4.00 per race day). These funds have traditionally covered costs for food, beverages, snacks, paper goods, propane, ice, etc. for the race season. Again, we feed all rowers and their families each race day. Parents can donate salads, desserts, muffins, veggie trays, etc. All contributions and volunteers are welcome!
Kearny Crew Parents raises money during the crew season from clothing, canning and candy sales. Crew clothing is available all year at our on-line store. Thank you to all who purchased sweatshirts, hats, etc! Kearny High Crew gear makes a great gift!
Thanks to the generosity of all who have donated time and money over the years. Kearny Crew Parents have funded many things needed to further the Crew program that are not funded through any other source.
We are all looking forward to enjoying another successful season!
