Baltimore, MD- The Loyola rowing teams participated in the 2010 Row for Humanity event on Thursday, January 28 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in McGuire Hall. The all-day event was a fundraiser that benefited both Habitat for Humanity and the Rowing program. The rowing teams invited student-body and campus community who got involved through donations and rowing.
Row for Humanity is a national event that includes Kansas State, Tulsa, Bucknell, Boston University, George Washington, Mary Washington, Northeastern, and Michigan.
In 2009, Row for Humanity donated over $30,000 to Habitat for Humanity clubs across the nation. By providing precious seed money, participants help build homes for their communities while also sharing in the unique sport of rowing. Last year, the campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity received $3,000 from the event.
