Thank you and our new goal!
Dear Friends of Cal Lights,
Thanks to your support, we reached (and surpassed) our initial goal of $10,000. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for your incredible generosity. Achieving this goal means that we will be able to equip our athletes with what they need to perform and develop at their best in the Spring season, the most competitive portion of our season.
We are hoping to build on this momentum and continue this fundraising campaign by raising an extra $2,500. We are hoping to use these extra $2,500 to purchase a new set of 8 sweeping oars, replacing some of our aging sets.
If you could help spread the word about our team, we would be greatly appreciative. Here is a link to our page: https://crowdfund.berkeley.edu/project/47830
Thank you again for your support, and go bears!
