Get Involved

Whenever a student joins the GMRC Youth team, the parents automatically become members of the GMRC Youth Boosters. The very active Booster Committee helps to implement the youth team’s plans. Without the considerable support of parents, GMRC youth team would not be able to operate.

Pitch In
There are many ways you can help out. The boosters help maintain contacts within the local schools, arrange carpools to practice and regattas, assure all the rowers are fed between races, chaperone the trips, and a plethora of other tasks as necessary.

To volunteer to help out at a GMRC event contact Jen O'Brien and Lloyd Fields, Booster Co-Chairs at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Executive Committee
Appointments to the committee are held in June for the next year's positions. There is no limit to the number of terms that an individual can serve on the board. The Committee meets several times throughout the year. If you are interested in serving on the Committee, please contact the Booster Committee President.

Fundraising Opportunities
The Great Miami Rowing Center relies on fundraising to cover operating costs. Our goal is to schedule two fundraisers each year through the Booster Club to support GMRC in and at the waters edge. If everyone pitches in a little bit of time, we can achieve our goals.

SCRIPS

Raise Money For GMRC With No Selling
Thousands of non-profit organizations across the United States are joining together with retailers to raise money. They do it with "scrip" the revolutionary fundraising method that can raise tens of thousands of dollars for your non-profit organization without the hassles of traditional fundraisers. If your member families are tired of selling candy, pizzas and gift wrap, then scrip is the powerful "no-selling" fundraiser for you.
Shopping Cart Fundraising™

With scrip fundraising,our member families simply do their regular weekly shopping with gift cards from America's favorite retailers. With each purchase, GMRC earns cash rebates that can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars a year - money that can be used for equipment and programming.

Scrip is a powerful fundraising tool because families generate revenue through purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. An organization of 150 families easily spends between one and two million dollars per year on food, clothing and other essentials. If these families use scrip for these purchases, they can raise as much as $40,000 to $80,000 per year for their organization --without spending an additional penny.

GLSC customers who use ShopWithScrip.com to manage their scrip programs can also use GLSC's PrestoPay™ system to collect payments from their organization members. This is the only method of payment GMRC accepts.

PrestoPay™ is NOT a credit card based system - it's better. PrestoPay™ uses the safe, reliable NACHA electronic fund transfer system. Your families enter their checking account information one time in a secure environment. After the account is verified, your families can choose to have their scrip payments electronically deducted from their checking accounts when they order. When you aggregate their orders and upload them to us, we will debit your organization account for the amount of the order, minus any payments your families have made to us. The system is safe, secure and convenient.
