Welcome to Hylton High School Crew

Home --> General Fundraising Information

Since Crew is a "Club" sport, the team does not receive funding from the school district like most other Hylton sports do. Therefore, fundraising is VERY important to us! Our fundraising efforts are varied, and we urge all Crew families to participate. Funds are primarily used to purchase new equipment, maintenance on our equipment, coaching staff development and administrative costs.

Our fundraisers include Cookie Dough/Pretzel/Cheesecake sales, Christmas greenery sale, Specialty Pasta sale, running concession stands at Prince William Crew Association Regattas, running concession stands at Nissan Pavilion, working as baggers/recovery clerks at Kohl's and car washes.

Crew is a great sport for developing strength, team spirit and confidence. It is also a competitive sport. In order to be competitive with other schools, we need up-to-date equipment: fiberglass shells, oars, cox boxes, etc. Fundraising is an all year effort. Hylton crew parents have manned the booths for concerts at Nissan Pavilion in return for a percentage of the profits. We made over $5000 in 2002!! An evening at Nissan is hard work, but is also very entertaining and a good venue to get to know the other parents. Unfortunately, this fall, due to the sniper activities, our fund-raising events were severely curtailed. Thanks to the energetic efforts of a relatively few dedicated rowers and parents, we have been able to keep ourselves going. We need your help now for this season at Nissan!!

Please check the website calendar for updates.
