The Good Ship [Your Name Here] Prep Crew might be our youngest varsity program, but they certainly do make a splash wherever they go, earning victories at the national and state levels on a regular basis. Yes, rowing is alive and well at Grand & Warren, but the team needs your help: their newest Vespoli V1 4+ shell is resplendent in maroon, but it lacks a name! It’s built for speed, with an innovative design by renowned naval architect Manolo Ruiz De Elivira, and with Prep’s fastest rowers at the oars, the boat has already placed third in the 2015 State Championship, earning a berth in last spring’s nationals. Bid and win tonight, and this mid-weight challenger will carry a name of your choice to victory for years to come!

You provide the venue, grill, guests, beverages and snacks, they’ll provide dinner and dessert!
