Great to see the rowing community rallying around for @VanMildertBC after such terrible news 👇

In light of recent events we have launched a Gofundme page to raise funds for purchasing pieces of equipment that are not covered by insurance.

Van Mildert Boat Club has started a Fire Recovery fund to raise money to help them recover from the fire that burnt down their boathouse, also destroying all of the boats, blades and other equipment stored there. Donations can made at GoFundMe.
