Phil and Lesli Schlaepfer are the recipients of the Synergy Award this year, THANK YOU for your unrelenting support over the past years.

[Row to the Future @RowtotheFuture]

Synergy is the working together of 2 or more people, or organizations, especially when the result is greater than the sum of their parts.

[Row to the Future @RowtotheFuture]

Synergy Award was created in 2009 to acknowledge a program partner or individual who embodies our definition of Synergy. #rowtothefuture

Arshay's first impression of rowing: white people, white boats, white everything. #nothanks #rowing

[Row to the Future @RowtotheFuture]

@arshaycooper was inspired to be a team leader by @JohnCMaxwell's book. Years later, Suga Water almost beat a JMaxwell book for an award!

[Row to the Future @RowtotheFuture]

Captain of his all-black #rowing team, the first in Chicago, @arshaycooper learned to be a leader. #teamcaptain #row4all #leader #leadership

[Row to the Future @RowtotheFuture]

Who do you think of when you think #rower? There is room for that image to expand to include more #diverse and #powerful #athletes. #row4all
