Row New York’s Jingle Mingle, our annual holiday ergathon, was a success! All members of the Row New York community – from alums and volunteers to board members, middle and high schoolers, para-rowers, and RNY family – came together this past Sunday to erg, eat, and enjoy the holiday spirit! Featuring music, a holiday bake-off, an ugly sweater competition, and THIRTY teams erging their hearts out, the event had something for everyone, rowers and non-rowers alike.
Congratulations to the winners of the ergathon, The Heatmeisers, to the wearer of the ugliest (or pugliest!) holiday sweater, Varsity Rower Nick Santo, and to the bake-off winner – RNY’s very own Director of Academics and College Readiness, Darise JeanBaptiste!
A big thank you to Hunter College High School for graciously hosting us and thank you to all those who participated in the day’s festivities!
