Row-A-Thon 2023 Raises $11,135 for LUM
Purdue Crew – Single Largest Donation Each Year!
The Purdue Crew Team raised $11,135 for the LUM Good Samaritan Fund through the annual Row-A-Thon event which took place February. At the Purdue Crew Spring Banquet, quartermasters Ellie Heaney and Josh Reilly-Grim presented a “big” check to Angel Valentín, LUM Financial Assistance Program director (pictured).
Each year, the Purdue Crew student athletes solicit donations for Row-A-Thon from their family and friends, mostly from outside of this community; and this donation each year is the single largest gift to the LUM Good Samaritan Fund from any group or individual. LUM is grateful for the continued support over the years from the leadership, athletes and coaches of the Purdue Crew Team. Boiler Up!
