Thanks to all of you, we have smashed through our minimum and are set to receive the funding! To celebrate this, Collingwood has agreed the return of...
Anything we raise until the project's end (17 days!) will be worth DOUBLE to us, give one pound and we get two, or one thousand and we get two thousand (you get it). This means that our goal of £24,000 is finally in sight, please keep bringing in those donations and project shares, time is of the essence!
A huge thank-you to everyone who has sponsored us so far and all those who supported us in our exhausting but rewarding 24 hour marathon row...we raised just over a whopping £1000 on the day and much more in the run-up to the event, all of which Collingwood kindly agreed to match-fund. Do have a look at our instagram here to see how we got on on the day.
We are now less than £1700 away from the minimum funding level to unlock the money and buy our first new boat in a long time!!
With the deadline fast approaching, if you know anyone who has considered donating but not quite got around to it yet, it would be greatly appreciated if you could give them a nudge in the right direction!
Thanks again for the support, we'll keep you posted as the fundraising event enters its final weeks.
So far some of our athletes have made some impressive promises to encourage sponsorship…from Isaac wearing a coconut bra in lectures to Meg having a night out in rowing lycra, hopefully we’ve proved we’re committed to raising the money!
We’re doing one big sponsored event, rowing 354km , the length of the longest river in the UK, over 24 hours as a full club – novice freshers and coxes will all be rowing to do everything they can to convince you to donate!
The date is 25th April , you can follow our progress live on Instagram from 7am then! Link below. From the 16th April until the morning of the 26th, Collingwood will be matching any donations pound for pound to support this fundraising event, so if you're on the fence, now's the time!
Thanks to our incredible supporters, we have passed our second milestone and received another £500 from Collingwood College.
Thank you to all our members (past and present), friends and family who have donated and passed on our campaign so far, we've made great progress and we have 70 days left to make it count!
Thank you so much for donating, we're now only £180 off our second milestone!
We'd like to mention all who have donated so far in some social media posts next week. Please let us know before then if you would rather your name not be included in the shout-outs.
