Fundraising Opportunities
- See’s Candies: [Note: 2024-2025 candy sales are now closed.] 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. 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: [Note: 2024-2025 wreath sales are now closed.] 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 the winter of 2025, we sold mulch. If the order form included the rower’s name, that rower received a $4 fundraising credit for each bag sold.
- 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
As of April 2025, the Fund W-L Crew website is no longer operational. The Boosters are in the process of adopting a new user-friendly fundraising platform, and we will share details soon!
