Like Trying Local Restaurants? Wayland-Weston Crew Fundraiser Has Tasty Grand Prize

WAYLAND, MA — If you've ever had a hard time choosing which local restaurant to eat at, have you considered eating at them all?

A new Wayland-Weston Rowing Association fundraiser will basically allow you to do just that. The sports organization is trying to raise $20,000 by the end of March to support its middle school, high school and adult rowing programs. The grand prize: 20 individual $100 gift cards to a bevy of local restaurants.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will mostly support local rowing programs, minus the cost of the prizes. The Wayland-Weston crew program has won state, regional and national regattas in recent years, and its volunteers include Olympic medalists. Four women alumni from the program competed in the 2022 World Rowing Championships in Račice, Czech Republic, in September.

Some restaurants included in the contest are The Farmer's Daughter in Sudbury, Dumpling Daughter, The Villa, Liberty Pizza in Framingham, the Dudley Chateau and Bocado Tapas. Local residents can enter the contest for donations starting at $20. Apart from the grand prize, boosters can win other prizes, like single $100 and $50 gift cards to the restaurants.

The fundraiser-contest deadline is March 27. Find out more details here.
