The Ergathon is the major fundraiser for the Glastonbury High School boys and girls crew teams.
In order to fully support the operations of the team for two seasons per year, it is necessary to raise approximately $50-60,000
per year (on top of the costs supported by the GHS Athletic Department.) This includes annual operating costs as well as the purchase of
new equipment (shells, oars, cox boxes, safety launches, ergs, etc) as needed.
With a team of 120-140 athletes, this translates to a cost of $450 PER ATHLETE!
Team members will sign up to row on an ergometer ("erg", "torture device") at the Glastonbury Boathouse for 25 minutes on Saturday, Sept 10th in return for support from their family and friends. The athletes, coaches and members of Friends of Glastonbury Rowing thank you in advance for your support!
