VCB's 2024 Row Around Manhattan

On September 8 VCB hosted our annual epic Row Around Manhattan. On a day of brilliant blue skies and high winds, 48 rowers participated in seven boats, braving crazy currents and bounding over huge waves, coming in just after sunset. Rowers came from Germany, Boston, and Kingston NY, as well as our own back yard. Our biggest fundraiser of the year, we exceeded our $10,000 goal, including $1,800 for youth sponsorships for our high school rowers. Many thanks to all who donated to VCB, either for their own row or to support other rowers and programs. If you meant to contribute and haven’t yet, it’s not too late.
