VillaRowingErg-A-Thon1 (PDF)

Event Details:
Date: Friday February 6 th, 2026
Time: 4PM to 6PM, 2 hours of erging!
Location: Villa Joseph Marie Gym

How it works: 
Each rower will obtain sponsorship, either a flat amount ($100, $200, $300 etc….) or on a “per meter rowed” basis. Distances rowed at the event are around 20,000+ meters per team (For example, if the pair rows 20,000 meters, the individual rowed 10,000 meters and the sponsorship for that individual of 1 cent per meter yields $100 for Villa Rowing.

Villa Joseph Marie Rowing – 10 Years Strong  

Founded in 2016-2017 school year, the Villa Joseph Marie Rowing Team is celebrating 10 years of excellence, growth, and sisterhood. What began as a small program and the first women's rowing team in Bucks County, has grown into a competitive and respected high school rowing team in the Scholastic Rowing Association—built on the values of Always More, Always Better, and Always with Love.  

Villa Rowing is more than a sport. It is a sisterhood that teaches discipline, resilience, leadership, and teamwork—on and off the water. Over the past decade, our athletes have pushed themselves and one another to achieve extraordinary results while representing Villa with heart, humility, and pride.  

The program has reached remarkable milestones:  
Stotesbury Cup Regatta Champions, the largest high school sporting event in the nation  
15 boats sent to the Scholastic National Championships  
5 Top 10 National finishes  
7 podium Finishes at The PSRA City Championships 
26 athletes committed to Division I schools with scholarships
, with more on the way  

This year’s Erg-A-Thon is a celebration of ten years of tradition—and an investment in the next generation of Villa rowers. Your support helps provide equipment, travel opportunities, coaching, and access to a program that continues to shape confident, capable young women.  

Every dollar truly makes a difference. Whether you are a longtime supporter or new to Villa Rowing, your generosity directly impacts our athletes and the future of this growing program. Thank you so much for considering a donation and for helping us celebrate 10 incredible years of Villa Joseph Marie Rowing.  

If you’d like to learn more about the program or our journey, please feel free to reach out—Coach Allie would be happy to share her experience and the story of Villa Rowing.  

Always more. Always better. Always with love.
