SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, March 3, 2012
Start training now - The River Rowing Association's PULL WITH PURPOSE row-a-thon to benefit the Nyack Center will be held on Saturday, March 3rd from 9am to 11am at the Nyack Center. Registration opens at 8am.
The PWP row-a-thon is a 2-hour relay race on ergometers (indoor rowing machines). Create teams of up to 5-people to compete for prizes. Larger teams can also participate in the non-racing category.
Registration fee is $75 per person, with all proceeds going to the Nyack Center - a community center that provides services ranging from a "Breakfast Cub" that offers nutritious breakfasts to K-6 children before school, to an "After School Program" that provides homework help for K-8, to teen counseling and activities. The Nyack Center supports the full socio-economic spectrum of Nyack's diverse community and focuses its efforts on serving low-income families and at-risk youth. Teams sell raffle tickets to cover their registration fees and to raise additional funds. Last year this event raised over $9,000 for the Nyack Center.
There will be prizes for teams that raise the most money, for the team with the best total distance rowed (unadjusted) and for the teams that place 1st, 2nd and 3rd (on an age- and gender-adjusted distance). Also, raffle tickets will be sold both before and during the event - with great prizes for the winners, including a Concept 2 ergometer and a new iPad.
To register a team e-mail pwp@riverrowing.org with team name contact info for team captain. More info can be found on the "Regatta" page of our website.
