Newport Rowing Club is ecstatic to announce our partnership with A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund!! With AMBTIF's support, NRC will continue to ensure that every athlete that wants to row, has the opportunity to row. 

This year we're thrilled to work with Nativity Preparatory School of Wilmington to introduce rowing, & the opportunities the sport brings, to many new middle school athletes! 

The AMBTIF is the official arm of a true grassroots, boots-on-the-ground effort by Arshay Cooper and 19 programs around the country  – that includes funding, swim lessons, private school placement and guidance, college application assistance and placement, coaching education, elite development, and more.
