Woodson Crew Holiday Auction

Crew is considered a club sport and thereby receives no financial support from our school, so we do a lot of fundraising just to stay afloat— it costs about $2,000 per rower per season, money that pays for uniforms, coaches pay, equipment purchase and repair, regatta registration fees, and travel. This year, we still have many of those costs (e.g. boat house costs, insurance, coaches) regardless of whether we have a regular season— but unfortunately we aren't able to fundraise via our typical in-person fundraisers. We're getting creative and hosting a virtual auction, and we'd love your investment in this great sport and our awesome kids!

The W.T. Woodson (WTW) Crew Program is a club sport affiliated with WTW High School in Fairfax, Virginia. The core philosophy of the WTW Crew Program is teaching student-athletes how to achieve excellence through discipline, hard work, and perseverance. This is done by providing a structured, safe, and comfortable environment for them to interact and learn about the sport. Opportunities are provided for students with a wide range of athletic abilities to become highly trained, competitive, and successful student-athletes. Team members build strength and endurance, develop time-management and self-discipline skills, and gain the confidence that comes with being a student-athlete.
