Perhaps the seeds of redemption lay not just in perseverance, hard work, and rugged individualism. Perhaps they lay in something more fundamental—the simple notion of everyone pitching in and pulling together.

Former Coach ​Dan Edwards - Founder of RFH Rowing

After many years of building the RFH Rowing Program involving indescribable effort and determination, Coach Dan Edwards retired in 2019.  The statement "Coach Edwards shaped RFH Rowing" is a vast understatement. Thank you from the many athletes, coaches and parents for building this incredible opportunity for the youth in the Rumson-Fair Haven towns.
