a great success!
The McLean Crew Club annual Ergathon challenges rowers to do his or her personal best while raising money for the club. It’s like a dance marathon on rowing machines. The Ergathon is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year and your sponsorship is critical to our success.
Checks made payable to McLean Crew Club can be given to athletes, or sponsors may give Online through the event date. Thank you for your support!
