Supporting S.A.R.A. & Case Crew
The Spartan Alumni Rowing Association (SARA) is an independent, tax exempt organization devoted to supporting rowing
at Case Western Reserve University. Your donations are fully tax deductible and directly support the team.
Ways to Give
It is through the generosity of alums that Case Crew will realize its potential. Time spent in meetings,
dealing with bureaucracy, and worrying about finding money for a new skeg is not time spent on the water
or in the gym getting faster. Please consider donations of time, equipment or money
to help SARA support Case Crew. To see the list of past donors click here.
Update Your Information |
This is priority #1!
We can't keep you up-to-date if we do not have your current email or mailing address. To keep costs down,
we do almost everything through email so please take a few minutes and view the Member List.
Help get rid of all of the  next to people's names so they can receive updates.

Become a Class or Cohort Representative |
We're looking for volunteers to become class or cohort representatives. As a Cohort Rep, you will be asked
to help SARA communicate with 5-10 alums that you either rowed with or graduated at roughly the same time. We have all developed lasting friendships
during our time on the team and being a Cohort Rep will help leverage those friendships. You'll be expected
to help SARA maintain up-to-date contact information for each person in your cohort and help us disseminate
information to your small group. You may already have your informal network of crew alumni so feel
free to volunteer and pick your own cohort.

Cheer on the Team |
When Case Crew is in town go meet the team and cheer them on! The students and coaches would like to meet you.
You may consider offering to host them in your house or bringing food to the team on race day. How many of us remember crashing on a parent's floor the
night before a race or even some yummy regatta brownies? If you'd like to know the latest race schedule
or other opportunities to help the team when they come to your town just send us an email.

Make a Donation |
Time or money. When we were on the team, we all thought it'd be great to have a strong alumni base that could buy us stuff.
Well now is the time! We've set up SARA as an independent, tax exempt organization that will allow your
donations to be fully tax deductible (if you qualify - consult your tax professional) and directly support the team.
Rest assured that all of your donation will go to the team. You can even direct your gift to a special cause
like that new 8+ you always wanted to donate!
