GEORGE POCOCK ROWING FOUNDATION (GPRF) | |
GPRF works to eliminate the barriers to accessing water sports many people face and create opportunities for every person in our community to get out on the water. Since the foundation’s inception in 1996, thousands of adults and young people have participated in a variety of innovative rowing experiences. In 2008, GPRF dedicated itself to the development of the Rainier Valley Rowing program, the very first ongoing, access-based, co-ed rowing program in the country. |  |
