The men's rowing team added pink to the school colors in
October at the snowy Head of the Charles regatta, where it raised money
to "Pull for a Cure" in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The
team raised more than $23,000, which it presented to the American
Cancer Society at the race. Rower Dan Aziz '11, who came up with the
idea, says the fund-raiser will continue next year, when Brown will
challenge teams from the other Ivies to join in in raising $250,000.
"Several of us," Aziz says, "including myself, have seen women in our
lives have to struggle with this terrible disease." Oh, and the team
finished fifth in the regatta.
