Washington-Lee Crew Boosters are asking for your help with our annual shredded hardwood mulch fundraiser.

Washington-Lee Crew celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2009. Washington-Lee Crew is a historic program with a long tradition of success on the water. In addition to being one of the most successful high school rowing programs in the United States, Washington-Lee Crew has a record of academic excellence, with rowers going on to row at top collegiate programs.

Fund raising provides money to buy shells (boats), oars, motorboats and other necessary equipment to help Washington-Lee Crew remain competitive. In addition, the Washington-Lee Crew Boosters provide financial aid, as needed, so all students have the opportunity to participate.

The goal of our mulch fundraiser is to raise that money, while providing a high quality mulch product to our supporters. It is major undertaking involving hundreds of volunteer hours over an entire weekend.

By buying mulch from W-L Crew Boosters you are supporting a truly great and historic Arlington tradition. Of course, there are also practical considerations for buying Washington-Lee Crew mulch. You will:

  • Receive a 40% tax deduction for your purchase; donations are 100% tax-deductible
  • Get high quality shredded hardwood mulch (harvested in West Virginia) delivered to your home
  • Eliminate the need to travel to a big-box store or nursery for mulch
  • Spare yourself the time and trouble of lugging heavy bags of mulch
  • Avoid making a mulch mess in your own vehicle

Download an order form. Please return it with your check by February 25 via your neighborhood rower, or by mail to the address on the form. Don’t forget to indicate your neighborhood rower’s name on your form. If you have any questions please contact Juliana Ehrlich at 703-527-7454 or via email at julianae@bowa.com.

Whether or not you need mulch, please consider making a donation (there is a line for that on the form as well). Can we count on your help to continue Washington-Lee Crew’s proud, winning tradition?

We urge you to act today - Success on the water depends on your support. Thank you for your time and continuing loyalty to Washington-Lee Crew.

Andy Barr and the team
The highlight of yesterday's team car wash was Andy Barr's presentation of a check for $10,000 to the Crew captains and their teammates and coaches. Mr. Barr's contribution is to help with our boat purchases and is in particular recognition of the boys' 3rd 8 taking a bronze medal at this year's Virginia State Rowing championships...while rowing the Andy Barr! Andy's generosity over the past several years has allowed W-L Crew to do things that simply would not have been possible without him. Thank you Andy Barr.
