ERIN O’CONNELL, PRESIDENT
AND GLENN MERRY, CEO
In the history of the Olympic movement,the
National Rowing Foundation has never played
as critical a role in the success of USRowing’s athletes
and programs as it does today. Internationally, the U.S.
stands alone as the only Olympic team funded solely through
corporate and private partners, without government funding.
USRowing is fortunate to have a diverse and vibrant family of partners
contributing to our athletes’ success. The NRF stands second only to the
USOC as our largest partner, funding the coaching, equipment, travel
and training expenses of our athletes.
USRowing athletes face the challenge of competing against countries
whose programs receive two to four times the financial support as ours.
True to the American way, this proves no hindrance to our athletes,
who arrive at the starting line knowing that donors like you helped
create that opportunity. The NRF community provides opportunities for
excellence and the platform to continue our tradition of winning.
Our teams cannot achieve their potential without you. From every athlete,
coach and team member at USRowing, we thank the National Rowing
Foundation for rowing up to that starting line with us. Our medals,
dreams and goals are the same. Thank you for being part of our team.
Go USA!
Erin & Glenn
