Any or all of these items will help the club, tremendously. Maybe as an outgoing Senior Rower, a family would like to donate one of the items listed below. Maybe some of our Alumni would like to donate something to show their appreciation for the positive impact GAR had on their family. You could even go in together to buy something from this list. The main goal is to help the club and the best way to do that is by giving in whatever way that you can either through gifts of money, tangible gifts (below), gifts of our time, or all three!

The Erg-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, February 14th in conjunction with LifeSouth’s Marathon. GAR expects each rower to collect a minimum of $50 in pledges and then “row” to earn the pledged amount (think March of Dimes walk-a-thon only on a rowing machine).
The 2010 Erg-a-Thon flyer can be downloaded here: GAR_erg-a-thon 2010
GAR publishes a yearbook at the end of every year. GAR expects each rower to sell $50 worth of personal and/or business ads.
