Northampton Community Rowing (NCR) is hosting a “Row for the River” fundraiser, an event dedicated to preserving the Connecticut River. This unique fundraiser combines community spirit, environmental stewardship, and the thrill of rowing, AND, CRC is a beneficiary!

A celebration will follow at the Northampton Community Rowing Boathouse. All are welcome!

Rowers of all ages and abilities from clubs along the Connecticut River will launch from the docks at the Mt.
