The West Potomac Crew Team is considered to be a club sport, and does not receive any funding form Fairfax County or from West Potomac High School. Rower dues cover less than half our expenses. In order to keep dues at a level that is affordable to a wide range of participants, and in addition to meet our team's financial needs, we conduct a variety of fundraising events to help meet our budget of approximately 150K. Participation from all crew families is essential. In addition, we receive a great deal of support in terms of funding and discounts from a number of local business and merchant. Thanks you!

Thank you to all who came out for a great show by the Capitol Steps. We had a very nice turn out and loved seeing everyone. Let's see what this year holds for new Capitol Steps material!
We would like to thank everyone who continues to make the wreath and greens sales such a great success. A special thanks to Joy Bird for taking the lead for this very important fundraiser again this year. We appreciate all of volunteers whose work and time continues to make WEPO’s crew team fundraising efforts a success!
Join us in March, for the James Munsey Comedy Hypnosis Show! Fun and laughter for all ages. Let's see what can happen to your friends, neighbors and who knows, maybe even the school's principal?
Row-A-Thon is a great opportunity for parents and community members to come out and see the Crew Team in action on the water. Crew Team members participate in head races, and everyone joins in a potluck lunch afterwards. Team members solicit sponsorships, and are awarded prizes depending on how much money they raise.
The Write to Row campaign engages each crew member an opportunity to raise donations for the team and build public support for our sport. We hope you’ll be part of this worthwhile endeavor. Your contribution will ensure that the West Potomac Crew Team rows strong this year and in the future.
