500 meters, 4 times

Rowers think in 500 meter “pieces,” with each piece of a 2000 meter race requiring something different from the rower or the crew.

As a growing team, we visualize our fundraising in 500 meter pieces. Each piece we fund gets us closer to completing the race to have adequate boats, equipment, and coaching for our growing club.
