Big Red Crew is a school sponsored Club at Parkersburg High School.  Therefore, we are totally funded by our booster organization. Coaches are hired by the Board of Education and paid by the board.  Big Red Crew at present houses its equipment free of charge. However, the cost to row varies.  This amount is figured by all the expenses incurred divided by the number of rowers that participate.  Some of the expenses include hotel rooms, buses, food, insurance, bay rental, entry fees, gas, equipment repair,  etc;  Many fundraisers are held by the boosters to help rowers raise their assessment. And, in the past, many rowers have earned all of their money through fundraisers !!!   Please participate in fund raisers....this is your team!!!
