In addition to great racing, the corporate rowing teams raised $16,000 to benefit Dynamic Opportunities for Youth; a free rowing program to help youth at risk in Victoria (and across Canada). The funds raised will put 100 youth through Dynamic Opportunities for Youth in Victoria! Thank you to the rowers, sponsors and supporters for this tremendous and needed support!
