HISTORY
VaCRA began with Chris Coon, a 2013 graduate and previous Men’s Team Captain. Together with Khiem Tran (‘14), the two lobbied for grassroots support through 2017 under the name 'VCU Crew Boosters' with only a clipboard and a sign-up sheet.
Joined by alumni Samantha Lewis ('17) and Kevin Costanzo ('17), the organization came to fruition at the first meeting on May 18, 2018. After taking some preliminary steps, the group reconvened a month later on June 17, 2018 during which they formally adopted the name Virginia Commonwealth Rowing Association (VaCRA).
