Ergathon 2025 - There is still time to make a difference!
Our annual Ergathon, LARA's most important fundraiser of the year, was held on March 1st, but there is still time to give.
Over the past 9 years, the Ergathon has made it possible for LARA to purchase new racing shells and equipment, a new boat trailer and truck to tow it, upgrades to our training facility and equipment in our boathouse, as well as to provide financial support so that all Loyola Academy Student Athletes can compete in this classic sport.
Consider supporting Ergathon 2024 by making a contribution on our online fundraiser page! More details can be found on our Ergathon page.
