Vote by 9/15 to help kids learn to row!
September 9, 2009 by admin
Deadline to vote is Tuesday, September 15th.
Margot Zalkind, member of Potomac Boat Club and executive director of the Foundation for Rowing Education, needs our help!
Nike is investing up to $650,000 in grants across the nation to unlock the potential of young people through the power of sports. Margot’s foundation has applied to receive one of these grants in order to help its youth outreach program, Row4All, continue to grow the sport of rowing among the underserved kids of western Massachusetts. The application period is over, but now Nike is asking folks to determine the grant winners by voting.
This is where we come in. Please visit Nike’s Back Your Block site here to learn more about the Foundation for Rowing Education and to vote for Nike to support Row4All. You will have to confirm your vote via email, but the whole process took us less than two minutes … two minutes that could make a positive difference in the life of a child.
And sure, we realize western Massachusetts isn’t exactly “our block,” but encouraging youth rowing has been a definitive part of Potomac Boat Club’s history for 140 years.
Help carry on this important Potomac tradition by voting to support Row4All before the September 15th deadline.
