Row for Boston Submitted by: Beth Kohl (April 30, 2013)
225 rowers from six Boston schools competed in the Women's Beanpot today on the Charles River Sunday morning as part of the Row For Boston. Teams from Boston College, Boston University, Harvard- Radcliffe, Holy Cross, Northeastern and MIT went head to head in five events, all wearing identical Row For Boston shirts. On Saturday the Lightweight Women's crews from Harvard- Radcliffe and MIT did the same. The idea for the teams to bond together was conceived of by Radcliffe Lightweight rower Corinne Wee. Proceeds from the sale of shirts goes to the Boston Children's Hospital Emergency and Trauma Fund. In partnership with USRowing and Boathouse Sports, shirts are being sold nationwide and teams from across the country are showing support for Boston while competing through May. Shirts are available at bostonstrong.boathousegreat.com.
