RIVERSPORT Middle School and High School Rowing are celebrating the start of the spring rowing season with “It’s Chili On the River” — a chili cook-off competition and silent auction benefiting the youth rowing program!

Proceeds from this annual event help provide greater access to the rowing program through scholarships and provide funds for equipment maintenance/replacement and coaching tools. This support allows the rowing program to grow so that more youth have the opportunity to participate as we showcase Oklahoma City as a nationally competitive rowing team.
