Row, Row, Row! November 13th afternoon, along with competitor teams from Star Gym, New Balance, Tudou.com and etc., Fudan-BI MBA students pulled up all the efforts to team up in the 10-person relay race and got seriously sweated in the first Annual Shanghai Indoor Rowing Charity Challenge at Shanghai Sharks Practice Facility, and made a contribution to a brighter future of migrant children living in this metropolis.
As active and fun people, Fudan-BI MBA students have always been largely engaged with various Shanghai events and scenes, while Join & Share Salon, the student union, has always been dedicated to building up a cross-industry, international networking platform for its members, as well as providing them a high quality, after-class time. The Indoor Rowing Charity Challenge, which happened to be successfully organized by Nicolar Herbert from Concept2 Rowing, a student of Fudan-BI MBA Class 12, was warmly welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed by the students. 20 students and alumni from Fudan-BI MBA Program participated in the game. Although it was the first time for most of the students to get on the indoor rower facility, they showed no fear to the challenge, as they had already armed themselves with strong power of will.
Fudan-BI MBA Program’s mix & mingle time would never lack of fun, and with sports spirit, animated atmosphere plus the right mixture of crowds and a good cause, this Indoor Rowing Charity Challenge was of course no exception. After 3 minutes’ rowing, every part of the body got exercised, and the excessive heart beatings just felt so right!
From auctions at each annual party to on-site visiting by students to schools in Xiji, Ninxia Province, charity takes up a significant part in Fudan-BI MBA Program and Join & Share’s activities. Fudan-BI MBA Program was proud to become one of the sponsors of the first Shanghai Indoor Rowing Charity Challenge, where all the proceedings generated from the race will go to Kid Strong, a program of Roots & Shoots dedicated to migrant children through providing them with physical and hygiene educational programs, along with healthy food and hygiene products, which made all the sweating just worth doing.
