And, lastly or maybe firstly in this season of giving, raising charitable dollars through your rowing efforts will give you a whole new perspective on what it takes to raise FIVE dollars (you'll think about this the next time you make a donation) ! And what it means to get your 2 cents worth! Concept2 outlines who gets the dollars, where the dollars go and how we generate those.
Support a Good Cause with Your Meters!
As in the past two years, we have selected several charities to choose from for those who wish to allocate their meters to a good cause. This year, the theme is water—protection of this resource for both health and conservation.
For every person who rows or skis at least 100K during the challenge, Concept2 will donate $.02 for every kilometer (1000 meters) you accumulate to your choice of the following organizations: Row 100K....generate $2.00
■Water For People
■International Rivers
■charity: water
And once you get beyond 100K, we'll donate $.04 per kilometer. Our goal through this group effort is to reach a total $30,000 to support these causes. The usual prizes of pin and certificate will still be awarded as well. Note: For kids and adaptive athletes, the $.04 rate will take effect at 50K.In recent years, we have had around 5000 people participate in the Holiday Challenge! We are hoping to reach 6000 this year, so we invite you to tell your friends about this opportunity to keep fit and support a great cause. Recruit, recruit, recruit...and ask them to join our team while you're at it!
Fight the wind chill on a snowy day .... row indoors!! 
Day 1.....and we're on the boards! May the force be with you!
