Event overview

Come out to a combined social with The Mission Continues, Team RWB and Row NYC for a day on the water! In 2015 working with the NYC Parks, Row New York identified the Paerdegat Basin site as the Ideal place to bring the sport of Rowing to Brooklyn. The protected basin connecting to Jamaica Bay offers an ideal place for Row New York to expand its Youth and Adaptive programs. We will be participating in their rowing program. So come and relax on the largest lake in NYC. We will be rowing and enjoying the summer day and getting some fun exercise with both RWB and Row NYC. Look forward to seeing you there!

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
