York St John University Rowing Club have been
planning a fundraising day on the River Ouse in order to raise money for Breast
Cancer Awareness.
The
idea we have proposed is to have as many boats as possible on
the river Ouse, rowing between Millennium and Scarborough bridges,
wearing bras
(over other clothing, of course!) and other bright and colourful
clothing or fancydress. Those who are rowing in the boats will gain
sponsorship from friends, family etc, whilst other club members place
themselves on bridges and in the town centre to collect donations from
the
public and draw attention to the exciting activities on the river.
Whilst initially we had only planned for York St John’s Rowing Club
to do this, we soon realised that if we could enlist the involvement of all the
boat clubs on the river, the amount of money raised and the overall spectacle
of the event would be much larger. We
also feel that it would be an ideal opportunity to show the people of York the
impact and benefits that rowing brings to the city, as well as improving club
relations and cooperation.
We would be looking to hold the event in either March or April next
year, on a Saturday to maximise the potential audience. We would like to
propose either of these dates:

ideas you might have and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
