Hope on Water: Bridging the Access Gap
The core mission of Hope on Water is simple yet transformative: to improve life outcomes for individuals from underserved communities by dramatically increasing their access to the demanding and rewarding sport of rowing. Rowing teaches teamwork, discipline, resilience, and commitment—skills that translate directly into academic and career success.
“We are supporting our educational systems and parks as we build the next generation of students athletes and leaders,” noted County Executive Tedesco, highlighting the holistic benefit of investing in programs like this.
The Hackensack Crew Team’s New Vessel
The boat dedication is a tangible result of community collaboration and philanthropic support. The new vessel will provide the Hackensack Crew Team with the resources they need to train, compete, and excel, opening up new horizons for the young athletes involved.
A special note of gratitude was given to the A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund and all the generous supporters whose contributions made this dedication possible. This partnership exemplifies the community effort required to provide equitable opportunities for all students.
This powerful initiative showcases the true spirit of community investment: providing students not just with a sport, but with a pathway to leadership and a brighter future.
