Support Cougar Crew
Donations to Cougar Crew are critical to the team's success. We have three key funds where you can help.
- Cristy Cook Memorial Fund: The team’s main fund to help cover expenses - operations, travel, coaching salaries, equipment, etc.
- Power 10 Fund: Donate recurring amount each and every month to help offset the team’s operating expenses. Frequent, small donations like these go a long ways!
- Endowment Funds: All endowed funds are for the general use of the University Recreation club rowing team. For information on the other team endowments, please contact us via the email below.
If you have any questions regarding donations, please send us an email. From all of us, thank you for you support!
Rent-a-Rower
Rent-A-Rower is Cougar Crew's chief fundraiser and is a premier opportunity for them to connect with the community in a functional and beneficial manner! If you are in need of any extra help, particularly any jobs that may need some extra muscle and manpower, Rent-A-Rower is for you.
Some specific Rent-A-Rower jobs that we have completed in the past include, but are not limited to:
- Indoor and Outdoor Painting
- Tree, stump, and bush removal
- Chopping, moving, and stacking firewood
- Moving and spreading gravel, sand, or mulch
- Pruning/Trimming trees and bushes
- Much, much more!
For each job, there is a minimum of 2 rowers and no maximum. We charge $20/hour per rower and each job must be a minimum of 2 hours. Rowers will show up equipped with gloves and work clothes; all other tools may be provided by the client.
To schedule rowers, please click the link and fill out the form below. Please fill out all fields and make sure you click “Submit.” If you have any questions, feel free to email us at wsurentarower@gmail.com.
As always, we are thankful for your support. If you know anyone who could use our services, we’d be grateful for the referral. GO COUGS!
Power 10 Campaign
Since 2010, the Cougar Crew Alumni Association (CCAA) has led the Power 10 Campaign to help fund operational costs of the current Cougar Crew team. The Power 10 campaign delivers funds to help offset coaching salaries, travel costs, and other operational costs. Recurring Power 10 donations are a great way to complement the long term growth of the Cougar Crew endowment accounts by delivering immediate funds to the teams’ current operating expenses.
Building the Power 10 Campaign to 200 donors matching the present average could cover coaching salaries and reduce the teams’ obligation for fundraising. As a result - retention, academic success, training time, and morale would benefit.
Please consider joining the Power 10 Campaign with a $10, $20, $50, $100, or other recurring monthly tax-deductible donation through the WSU Foundation.
Cougar Crew Days
Cougar Crew Days is the annual reunion and fundraiser for all members of Cougar Crew, current and former, their families, and their supporters. Come to Pullman to see the facilities, watch the Class Day competition, and even sit in a boat! In addition to an ice breaker BBQ and an open meeting with the Alumni Association, all attendees are invited to the Cougar Crew auction and banquet to support the team and revel in the community.
