On the Road to Success – NTSF
The ORC is launching an exciting new project to support our growing community of rowers. Our Current trailer, which has faithfully served us for 40 years, can no longer keep up with our expanding club and increasing number of athletes. To continue supporting the wishes and dreams of our rowers, we need a second trailer to transport boats to and from events efficiently and safetly.
Our goal is to raise $58 000 to purchase a new trailer.
