Race Entry Fees

There are various combinations of race entry fees depending on which event you are planning to take part in and the number of team members within your campaign.

Woodvale Challenge offers a payment plan for teams that can spread the cost of the race entry over a set period of time. This can help out a great deal while teams raise sponsorship to support their rowing campaign.

Boat purchases can also be structured in this way. Most teams do manage to find support either through corporate sponsorship or through patronage towards the project. There are definate media returns that can be offered to potential sponsors and there are ways in which these approaches are more likely to be successful.

If you look under our sponsorship heading, you will see examples of how different approaches have been successful in the past.
