Purdue Crew's Mission Statement, Vision Statement, and Core Values recognizes that "In a thriving community each person recognizes the importance of and commits to taking a vested interest in the well-being of other community members".
Purdue Crew believes our community includes campus, greater Lafayette, and beyond, and actively works with community partner Lafayette Urban Ministry in the fall as a co-chair of the Hunger Hike and in the spring for our Row-a-Thon fundraiser, where each athlete fundraises for a three hour row, with half of the proceeds supporting Purdue Crew and half donated to LUM, netting over $100k in donations to LUM.
