Purdue Crew’s Rowing Spectacle
Another Successful Row-A-Thon This Past Saturday
This past Saturday, the Purdue Rowing Team held their annual “Row-A-Thon” event. Each member of the co-ed team rowed at least 30K (30,000 meters or 18.64 miles) in three hours on indoor rowing machines while raising funds for the LUM Good Samaritan Fund.
If you missed Row-A-Thon, you may still donate ONLINE (add “Rowathon” in the additional comments section) or by mail (make checks payable to Purdue Crew Club and mail your checks to: Purdue Crew—Row-A-Thon, 355 N. Martin Jischke Dr., West Lafayette, IN 47907).
Thanks to Purdue Crew president, Patrick King; head coach, Nathan Walker; and the entire rowing team and coaching staff for their continued support of Lafayette Urban Ministry. Please note: the funds raised from Row-a-thon will be split 50/50 between LUM and Purdue Crew Team.
The LUM Good Samaritan Fund is an emergency financial assistance program which provides our neighbors in need with a strong and reliable safety net. Help is offered for utility bills, rent, and prescription medications. In 2022, the LUM Good Samaritan Fund provided assistance 2,084 times to 1,451 households and $159,647 was shared.
