This morning, nearly 50 employees from Richmont North America returned for a second year to Row New York’s Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse where they donated their time and effort to making tangible improvements to our organization. The tone was joyful and focused as volunteers painted our private event space (great for weddings and fundraisers!), washed boats, scraped barnacles off launches, and learned to row. The second floors of our boathouse are fresh with new paint. Thank you to Laureus Sport for Good Foundation and Richmont North America for making the day possible. A special shout out to Laureus’s Beth Eisen for her positivity and flexibility and all the RNA employees who made a significant impact on our organization’s sustainability!
