Mercantile’s Royal Henley Fundraiser – Saturday 14th June, Support Our Crews!

Mercantile Rowing Club is proud to present The Royal Henley Gala 2025—our premier fundraising event supporting the club’s Wargrave, Diamond Jubilee, and Prince Philip Cup crews as they prepare to represent us at Henley Royal Regatta this July. This cocktail-style evening will include a crew presentation, live and silent auctions, raffle draws, and a dance floor to round out the celebrations!

We are currently seeking donatable items for the silent auction—think experiences, vouchers, wine, memorabilia, or services. Every item donated helps get our athletes one step closer to the start line at Henley.

We’re also calling on volunteers to help run the event on the night. Whether you’re a club member, friend, or supporter, we’d love your help. An organising committee meeting will be held Tuesday at 6:30pm, and all are welcome.

If you’re interested in donating or volunteering, please contact Jordan King at mensclubrowing@mercantile.org.au. Let’s get behind our crews and make this a night to remember!
