Harlem River Community Rowing is turning 20 – and we’re just getting started!
Since 2006, we’ve been proud to offer New York City’s only adult, public transportation-accessible, affordable rowing program. What began with four incorporating members at Roberto Clemente State Park has grown into a vibrant community of 200 rowers, 322 sessions, three competitive teams, and 20 medals in 2025 alone!
And now, we’re channeling that same energy into the next 20 years on the water. Introducing Our 20th Anniversary Spring Campaign: “20 Years Strong and Rowing Into the Future.” We’re kicking off the season with a bold goal: raising $30,000 to expand our programs and purchase a new 4+ to our fleet.
Why Your Support Matters
For 20 years, HRCR offered NYC residents from all five boroughs exceptional, accessible rowing. Every dollar given helps HRCR thrive and covers our vital expenses:
- Coaching – Keeping our experienced coaches on the water
- Growth and Maintenance – Adding to and caring for our fleet to keep rowers safe
- Accessible rowing – Keeping our programs no-cost, inclusive and welcoming to all
Whether you donate, volunteer, spread the word, or cheer us on – every bit of support helps Harlem River Community Rowing continue to grow and thrive. 20 years and counting!
