Washington-Lee Crew and the Boosters welcome contributions that will help us to purchase new boats. Equipment is by far the largest expense category of the team. Without outside contributions, it would be very difficult for W-L Crew to buy new boats.

As a gesture of appreciation for large contributions intended for boat purchases, W-L Crew and the Boosters will consider donors’ preferences for names to be given to the new boats. Most appropriate are names of individuals or groups strongly identified with W-L Crew or Washington-Lee High School. Examples include past W-L Crew coaches and former athletes, W-L High School teachers and administrators, former W-L Crew parents, and other supporters of W-L Crew. Group names are also appropriate, such as “Class of 1959” or “Henley 1969”. Names of companies and other organizations not directly related to W-L Crew or High School will also be considered, upon request of the donors. A boat will retain its name for as long as it is part of the W-L Crew inventory.

In general, boat naming rights will require a donation to the W-L Crew Boosters of at least two-thirds of the cost of the boat to be named. Final decisions on boat naming will be made by the W-L Crew Boosters Executive Board, in consultation with the coaches and donors.
