Spring season is underway! And with this comes our annual Ergathon, LARA's most important fundraiser of the year. 

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 who wish to learn to row and compete in this classic sport are able to do so. 

Our online fundraiser page allows rowers to take responsibility for raising their own funds to support LARA. It will also allow them to share their love of rowing and receive support from family members and friends, with each rower expected to raise a minimum $375.

DETAILS ABOUT ERGATHON:

• The Ergathon event will be held at Loyola Academy in the East Gym on Saturday March 1.  Rowers report to the gym at 8:30. The Ergathon racing begins at 9:30am and lasts one hour. Rowers will be dismissed around 12:00.

• Family, friends, and fans are all invited to watch the teams races against one another in an erg relay that is sure to amaze and well as amuse! To make the event fun and competitive for our rowers, rowers will be put into mixed teams and each team will include members from Varsity Men and Women and Novice Men and Women.

• We will offer a light post race breakfast for our rowers following the event. Please look for the Sign-Up Genius and sign up to make food donations.

The fundraiser is open now and will remain open until spring training for additional opportunities to reach and surpass our goals. Questions? Please don’t hesitate to email: larasecretary@gmail.com
