PHILADELPHIA — The Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta Organizing Committee in conjunction with Aberdeen Asset Management Inc., proudly announce their sponsorship of two crews — the Florida Institute of Technology men's varsity eight and the Purdue University women's varsity eight — to compete in the Henley Royal Regatta and the Women's Henley Regatta on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England.

"The Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta is pleased to support its champion in the women's heavyweight varsity eight, Purdue University, in its quest for rowing excellence at the Henley Women's Regatta," said DVROC chairman Jack Galloway. "We are also pleased to support Florida Tech's men's heavyweight varsity eight in their racing for the Temple Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta." 
 
The DVROC will provide support for both crews, while Aberdeen will assist with housing and other arrangements. For both the Henley Royal Regatta (June 29-July 3) and the Henley Women's Regatta (June 17-19), FIT and Purdue will stay in a historic rectory on the banks of the River Thames opposite Henley's finish line. The Rectory’s ideal location enables the crews to maximize the time they spend on the river by eliminating travel to and from the Thames.
