**Here is an easy way to help America Rows improve children through the sport of rowing**
**To vote, you must first "like" the US Olympic Team on Facebook. Then vote once per category, per day, by 11:59:59 p.m. (ET) on Sept. 18. The two videos in each category with the most votes will receive the $12,000 grant.**
The USRowing America Rows Program and It's Bigger Than You, Inc. recently submitted a professional video to the US Olympic Committee. The US Olympic Committee is issuing a grant for an organization that best promotes the olympic value of Friendship; striving to grow sport participation and access to sport. In this case, growth in the participation of rowing.
USRowing's America Rows Program is a nationwide diversity and inclusion initiative aimed at increasing awareness of rowing and introducing the sport of rowing to a diverse group of Americans; including underserved urban youth who otherwise may not have the opportunity to participate in rowing.
USRowing's America Rows Program will use 100% of grant monies to provide America Rows Affiliates, such as It's Bigger Than You's Sportsman Rowing, with small grants that cover race fees, purchase rowing equipment and athletic clothing, pay for swim lessons and secure rowing coaches.
It's not another method of training, it's a whole different sport. Not some way to train on the side for more popular sports like football and the like. You develop a love for the sport like I did and then it stays with you for life.
