Robinson Crew Boosters would like to thank the community for its support of the team’s annual tag day. On Saturday and Sunday, Jan 11th and 12th, rowers collected more than $24,000 in donations in the neighborhoods surrounding Robinson Secondary School, making this tag day one of the top earners in Robinson Crew history.
While crew is a varsity sport at Robinson Secondary School, it receives no financial assistance from the Fairfax County Public School System, Fairfax County, or the State of Virginia. Robinson rowers and parents volunteer thousands of hours each year so that our student-athletes can participate in this exciting activity which builds not only strong bodies, but also teamwork and mental discipline. The program costs approximately $1,900 per rower to cover the equipment, coaches’ salaries and other necessary items needed for a successful season.
For those that contributed, the donation is tax deductible. For more information, please see our website www.robinsoncrew.org. We hope you will check out the regatta schedule on our web site and come out and support us this spring! You can also track crew events at www.FriendsofRobinsonCrew or on twitter @RamsontheRiver.
