“A Racing Start” – 2011 SARA Men’s Rowing Endowment Campaign

The flag has dropped and the crews are off, at 250 down we have a dead heat between the ’80-’84 and ’65-’69 class years in dollars and ’80 – ’84 has nosed ahead of the pack in number of participants.

Overall we have $1,750 in the first 10 days with 10 individuals bringing out their check books (Thank you ---Paul Blacharski, Ken Borst, Paul Dudzick, Hugh Duffy, David Fish, Rob Heinstein, Adlai Hurt, Charlie Mills, Joe Paduda, and John Thomas).

While seven class years are quickly off the line, we still have six class years sitting at the stake boat – time to get your oar in the water!

We will be providing real time race results every 10 days to the alumni population via face book, the SARA blog or email. Remember SU racing shirts are at stake for class years with the greatest number of contributors and class years with the greatest dollar contributions. Greater than $1,000 automatically get you a betting shirt.
