Kansas State Men's Crew

Adopt-a-Rower
Wednesday, February 13 • by Sculler (8:43 AM) •

Adopt-a-Rower is a mentorship and financial assistance program created in Fall 2007 by
Coach Don Rose. The intent of the program is to encourage family, friends, and KSU Crew
Alumni to help the current rowers with the expense of rowing but more so to provide
guidance to our current rowers. Each adopted rower is required to provide updates on
regattas and other crew events like our Alumni Banquet in October. Sponsors may provide
rowers with up to $500 per year to cover the cost of regattas, dues, and uniforms. Any
Adopt-a-Rower donation not specified for a person will be awarded to a current rower
based on their personal essay entitled "Why I want to spend an hour on the water a day."
The best essays are selected by a current Kansas State Rowing Association Board of Director's
member and a former Men's Crew athlete.

If any alumni who wishes to donate or has questions please feel free to email Joey Lightner, Men's
Crew President at lightner@ksu.edu.

Rent-a-Rower
Sunday, February 25 • by Seiji (10:02 PM) •

"Rent-a-Rower" is an ongoing fundraiser for our team. It's very simple, you have a job that requires some manpower, we provide it! Whether it be cleaning, moving, gardening, painting, etc. We are more than pleased to discuss what job you may have for us!

There is no set rate for our services, but we do ask that you offer a fair donation (we are trying to raise money after all). So, what are you waiting for? Hire some rowers (both men and women) for your job!
