Anyone Can Row

and we need your help to reach our goal!

The event runs for 24 hours with rowing broken down into 30 minute time slots, but you / your group just attends as long as you like! You can row for 30 minutes or more, or even split rowing blocks with friends. Throughout the event we will have different activities to keep everyone entertained. Every little bit helps as we set our sights to beat our meters from last year! Sign up for 30 minute time slots (or more) and just row.

Strong Like JJ

The 24 Hour Rowathon began in 2014 to raise money for the family of Jovani Joseph Maggio (JJ), a 4 year old boy diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma. A tumor formed in his right lower leg and spread up to his pelvis. The chemotherapy and radiation treatments did not work and Jovani’s cancer has spread. After a grueling 12-month battle JJ passed away in his parents arms on November 20. Throughout treatment he displayed a courage that is unfathomable, never complained and died fighting to his last breath. His fight was courageous and has made an impact all over the world via friends and social media. The term “Strong Like JJ” was born.
