Trophies
– The PSRA is hoping to expand its collection of permanent trophies for championship events at the annual PSRA Championships in May. Currently we only have trophies for the boys varsity eight and quad. If you would like to sponsor a trophy in honor of a coach or other individual or even a team or organization, please contact Paul Horvat or Leslie Pfeil.

Going Green – The PSRA and Fairmount Park encourage you to use metal water bottles in place of disposable plastic ones. It’s the best solution for our environment and helps to keep our park free of litter.
