Shaker Heights High School Crew Parents, Inc. (SHHS Crew Parents) is a not-for-profit Ohio corporation exempt from federal income tax as a 501(c)(3) organization. The purposes of the corporation are:
To support and enhance the Shaker Heights High School crew team by coordinating and facilitating events and travel to competitions,
contributing financially to the operational expenses of the team, and
fundraising for equipment and supplies.
On average, SHHS Crew Parents fundraise around $13,000 each year to support the activities of the Shaker Heights Crew Team. In general, the organization brings in about $30,000 annually through charitable contributions and membership fees.
