Welcome to the Spartan Alumni Rowing Association
Tom Hudak Tells a Tale of Yore
Alumnus Tom Hudak '92 has written an account of the founding of the team. Tom founded Case Crew, still rows in Pittsburgh and is a Board member of SARA.
To read his account of starting Case Crew Click Here.
Also if you'd like to help Tom and other alums keep the team afloat please consider a donation.
Alumni play a crucial role in almost all college rowing programs. Please take a moment and click on the
Orange Coast College Alumni Day Video.
Obviously, it's a different college but the video production is amazing, and the "underdog" message translates
well to Case Crew. (Click on the link and select "Alumni Day Video")
Fall 2008 Regatta Schedule (Tentative)
Below is the schedule for the upcoming season. If you're in the area or would like to help organize the cheering
section for an event please email the webmaster.
As usual, we'll be trying to enter some alumni boats into to the Head of the Cuyahoga Please email Doug Rathburn
if you're interested in racing. The spring "Alumni Regatta" is the official alumni event for Case Crew, but the Cuyahoga
is quickly becoming an annual event for alumni. It's tons of fun and we have to hold up our streak of beating the undergrads!!!

Leave Your Mark on Case Crew
|
We are pleased to announce the first capital campaign for Case Crew! The team continues to benefit from the generosity
of your Annual Fund contributions. However, it's time we, as alumni, parents and friends, leave our mark on the team
by providing them with competitive equipment.
This spring we're trying to raise enough money to replace the Sweet J with a new 4+.
Please take a moment to read about the Alumni Victorious Campaign
and consider a donation.

Please Note: Amazon doesn't make it perfectly easy for us to get credit for purchases.
Many people use the link to add items to their shopping cart and then purchase them at a later date. However, we only get credit if you use the
Amazon Link
when you actually make the purchase. Therefore, when you return to Amazon you must use the link provided
at the point your credit card is charged for us to get credit.
The campaign so far has been very successful - many, many items have been ordered and we've raised a nice amount of money.
But using the link everytime you visit Amazon is critical for us to get credit for each purchase.
Thanks!

One would sometimes think, from the speech of young men, that things had changed recently, and that
indifference was now the virtue to be cultivated. I have never heard anyone profess indifference to a
boat race. Why should you row a boat race? Why endure long months of pain in preparation of a fierce
half-hour, or even six minutes, that will leave you all but dead? Does anyone ask the question? Is there
anyone who would not go through all its costs, and more, for the moment when anguish breaks into triumph,
--or even for the glory of having nobly lost? Is life less than a boat race? If a man will give all the
blood in his body to win the one, will he not spend all the might of his soul to prevail in the other?
