Fundraising Opportunities
- See’s Candies: All current rowers should have received an email with their own unique link to the See’s Candies online “Yum-raising” site. This is W-L Crew Boosters’ online See’s Candies shop where one can order chocolate and candy to ship to the address of their choice until December 31, 2024. When anyone purchases See’s candies via the unique links, a percentage of the sales revenue goes to W-L Crew Boosters and the rower assigned to that unique link will get fundraising credit toward their fundraising obligation.
- Sherwood Forest Farms Wreaths: Wreaths, garland, and holiday decor are sold in the fall beginning the week of October 21, 2024 and are delivered in December. The deadline to order is November 16. Local deliveries will occur the week of the W-L Holiday Bazaar (December 7). Purchases can also be shipped directly across the country. Supporters can shop online using this link. Be sure to have your friends and family designate your rower in the drop-down menu to receive fundraising credit!
- Friends and Family Letters – This letter is a great opportunity to invite your friends and families to support you and crew with a cash donation. Any donations received will be credited at 100% to the rower indicated.
- Mulch Sales – In January, we will begin selling mulch. If the order form has the rower’s name, that rower will get a $4 fundraising credit for each bag sold. Check out the Mulch Madness page for more details.
- Direct Donations – When rowers are selling any item, we encourage them to ask for a cash donation. Any donation received will be credited at 100% to rowers, if the rower’s name is on the order form.
Getting Credit for Fundraising & Paying Dues
All sales and donations must be entered into the Fund W-L Crew website in order for the rower to get fundraising credit for any sale or donation. Rowers can also use the Fund W-L Crew site to check their progress towards their fundraising goals and pay their dues.
- Logging In – Coaches will provide rowers with their login information for the Fund W-L Crew site. If you have not received your login, make sure you have registered for the team. If you have registered, but still do not have a login, send an email to both registrar@w-lcrewboosters.org and fundraising@w-lcrewboosters.org and copy your coach.
- Credit Card Transactions – The Fund W-L Crew site accepts credit cards for all sales and donations.
- Check Transactions – Use the Fund W-L Crew site to enter the customer information. For checks, you will be asked to include the check number. Send via postal mail to P.O. Box 50611, Arlington, VA 22205. Be sure to include the rower’s name, and the order number on the check and/or a note within the envelope.
