Rent-A-Rower helps team reduce competition costs

The WSU men’s crew team is gearing up for the spring Rent-A-Rower fundraiser. The 34 student-athletes are up for hire March 3 and 4 and March 10 and 11. 

They are willing to work on a variety of jobs around the house or work site. In the past, the rowers have helped with yard work, loading, cleaning, painting and more. 

The cost is $10 per hour per rower. 

“This is our favorite fundraiser because helping people in the community get big jobs done is always very satisfying,”  said Chris Seaman, commodore of the team.

According to Arthur Ericsson, head coach for men’s crew, the money raised during the event will help cover the team’s costs for traveling and competing.
