Our team comes from all walks of life and different circumstances. To ensure everyone has the chance to participate, we spend a lot of time fundraising to cover uniforms, training fees, travel and regatta costs.
It costs over $40,000 a year to keep our two teams afloat... that's a lot of fundraising so we make sure we have fun doing it!

Food Truck Fiesta
Held on Saturday 27 June 2015 at Southwards Car Museum. We created four 'food trucks' - an Irish, Asian, French and dessert truck. Sacha from Poland, comedian, was our MC for the evening. We had over 100 guests who could choose from any or all of the food trucks. There was also an auction and Lotto draw, buskers and entertainment. Together we made over $5,500. Thanks to all our guests, supporters and sponsors.

With the help of Carrara Ceilings we created plaster torsos using some of our team members as models, and 6 celebrity supporters. Local artists then made these into unique artworks.
The torsos were sold at auction on 21 August 2014. With the generous help of our supporters, this huge fundraising event raised nearly $15,000.
