Row for Rudi Oars

The ergo (indoor rower) challenge will commence on Thursday 9 April, and will bring the group together in light and memory of Rudi.
All money raised will support the purchase of new equipment that will be a 'gift' in Rudi's name to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ College Boat Club. It will help remember Rudi’s passion through the boat club.
The rowers aim to buy a new set of Concept2 oars (costing around $6,000) for the boat club, and will hang one in memory of Rudi in the Billiards Room at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ.
This is an occasion for people to remember Rudi and his great contribution to not only the boat club, but to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ community as a whole.
Rudi van Breda (TC 2011), pictured, was a young alumnus who died in January.
Members of the boat club urge you to donate to the cause – in the hope that we all can remember Rudi for the champion he was. To donate, click here and select ‘Rudi van Breda Fund’ on the online form.
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ College will be competing in the Inter-Collegiate Rowing Regatta on Saturday 2 May. Be sure to go along in your ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ colours and cheer on the team.
