Help keep our boats on the water.
Hi, I'm Violet. I'm 14, I row for Edgewater Crew, and I love it. The team has given me close friends, a supportive community, and a reason to push myself every practice.
Hooch or bust!
Our annual trip to the Head of the Hooch regatta in Chattanooga, Tennessee is coming up fast. Getting rowers, boats, and the trailer there costs real money, and we need your help now.
Businesses: a trailer magnet rides with our boats all the way to Chattanooga and back.
Boats, oars, coaching, regatta travel, and boathouse upkeep are paid for by athlete dues, donations, and local sponsors. Every gift, big or small, helps.

Order and credit VioletCorporate sponsorship
Our first $25,000 sponsor is already on board. Join them and help us reach $100,000 this season.
We're flexible, and we'd love to build a custom sponsorship package that's meaningful to your business.
Corporate sponsorships start at $1,000. Want to give a smaller amount, or giving as an individual? Every dollar helps: make a donation or buy poinsettias.
Your sponsorship helps cover rower costs and repair or replace aging equipment. With year-end approaching, it's a good time to ask about potential tax benefits.
Your brand travels with the team: ribbon banners at regattas, car magnets on the vehicles that tow our boat trailer, and team tents where rowers and families gather on race day. Sponsors at $10,000 and up can choose from options like naming a boat. Every sponsorship includes social media recognition.

Our sponsors are highlighted at the February Boathouse Benefit, in front of 100+ College Park families.
