The Mercer Lake Sprints, a showcase opportunity for our progra as well as local businesses. Last year, the Sprints drew nearly 10,000 competitors and spectators from across our region.

Annitto Fund

In 2005, PNRA established the Annitto Fund in honor of Rebecca Annitto, an MJRC coxswain who passed away that year. The goal of the fund is to provide finanical assistance to rowers and families to make rowing accessible to all.

Rebecca "Little Becca" Annitto, a MJRC coxswain, passed away in the fall of 2005 in a tragic automobile accident. Although she was tiny in stature, Rebecca had a huge heart and loved to help people in need. Not only was she a talented coxswain, but she also found time to start S.O.S., a Princeton based organization that connects students to organizations who are looking for help with service projects. This fund was dedicated in her memory for continuing her ambition of helping others have access to rowing.

For more information on the Annitto Fund please contact PNRA's Executive Director Kris Grudt at 609-799-7100 x100 or krisgrudt@rowpnra.org.
