In addition, HRC tries to contribute to the social development of top athletes through its network of former internationals and to fulfill a role as an alumni platform that helps former top rowers in their career after sport.The club appears in the 2010 movie The Social Network beating the Harvard team of the Winklevoss twins in the finals of The Grand Challenge Cup during the Henley [Royal Regatta] in 2004, which they won representing the Holland Acht, the official Dutch rowing team. As a result of their win, they qualified for the 2004 Summer Olympics in which they won the silver medal.
