Rowing the
Jersey Shore
for a cause

Ryan Fisher and Kyle Rumaker will undertake a rowing expedition from the Cape May Lighthouse to the Statue of Liberty — challenging themselves physically while raising funds for important coastal causes.

Proceeds benefit the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA), a national nonprofit dedicated to protecting, restoring, and sustaining America's shorelines through sound science, responsible coastal management, and public education.

An accompanying scholarship will also be established to help fund college expenses for lifeguard(s) of the Upper Township Beach Patrol — awarded by Ryan and Kyle to those who have proven dedication to our beaches and are recommended by their peers.
