Rumson Crew Estimated Startup Costs
The crew program already has 50 interested high school students so we
need to accommodate 50 -60 students in the program for the first year. The estimated startup costs listed below is
a conservative approach to the program, utilizing used and new equipment that can be purchased. The initial
startup costs are high however once this equipment is purchased, it will create a base that can be added to slowly over
the years.
The program already has received donations of equipment not shown on
this list, so for example, we have sculling boats but need some additional sculling oars. We have started to
receive some wonderful gifts and underwriting from community minded people. We will post and update our
list of contributions for the fundraising effort. Will you consider support this program? Questions? Send an e-mail to
Coach Dan Edwards.

Our initial goal was to raise at least $200,000 through the local mailing,
local pre-event pledges and the event at the home of Brian and Denise Pasch. As of January 9, 2007
we have reached our initial pre-event funding goal. We now have the funding needed to start the program!
We thank all the local residents and friends who have stepped up to date, but our fundraising program still has funding
goals that have not been met.
We can now focus on the funding for the running and expansion of the
program in 2007, which will include programs for grades 7 and 8 as well as an adult rowing program
The first kick-off event on January 6th for Rumson Crew, held at
Bingham Hall, was a great success. Please make all efforts to attend our January 12th Fundraiser to learn more
about Rumson Crew. Sign-up Forms can be obtained
here.
Please consider helping underwrite the Rumson Crew program today!
