On the cover: An artist’s rendering of the Finn M. W. Caspersen Rowing Center with the Timothy M. Hosea Building To our Supporters . . . 2015 has been a year of incredible inspiring performances by the athletes who train at the Caspersen Rowing Center: - At the Youth National Championship: Junior Girls V8+ 2nd, Girls LV8+ 3rd and Boy’s V8+ 11th in the nation; - Nine first place finishes by the Juniors at the Canadian Royal Henley Regatta; - A 10th straight World Championship for the USA Women’s 8+; - An incredible gold medal World Championship performance by the USA Women’s 4x; and - World Championship medals for all of the National Team training at Caspersen including Gold Medals for the U23 Team. We were witness to some great races on our own race course from the Mercer Lake Sprints to the IRA National Championship. Our inspiration also came from novices, juniors and masters, taking their first strokes, our volunteers who selflessly contribute hundreds of hours to our programs and all of our coaches. PNRA was also named 2015 USRowing Club of the Year. The year also brought a reminder of how fragile and precious life can be when we lost Tim Hosea in August. Tim selflessly guided, inspired and cared for all of us. He allowed us to reach higher and not only achieve our goals but to push through and go beyond them. It is in Tim’s spirit that we ask you to join us in supporting PNRA as we provide the tools and build the facilities that will allow both the current and future generations of athletes to continue to inspire us. Kris Grudt, Executive Director In Memoriam - Timothy M. Hosea M.D. Dr. Tim Hosea was a treasure to not only the rowing community but to the multitude of lives across all walks of life that he touched. Tim helped thousands of rowers achieve their dreams through his skill and compassion as a doctor and through the inspiration he provided as an untiring advocate for the sport. PNRA Thanks Our Sponsors

A champion rower at Navy and Harvard, Tim was sidelined by a ruptured disc that changed the course of his life. The care he received from the orthopedic surgeon who treated Harvard’s athletes led him to medical school and a dedication to orthopedics and sports medicine. With his love of rowing, the rest came naturally. The Caspersen Rowing Center was conceived in 1997, the same year “Doc Hosea” was awarded USRowing’s Jack Kelly Award for “superior achievements in rowing, service to amateur athletics, and success in (his) chosen profession, thereby serving as an inspiration to American rowers.” PNRA had the honor of having Tim serve as the President of our Board of Directors. He led our organization through unprecedented growth. His commitment to rowing and to the activities of PNRA has become legendary, and his vision for PNRA’s future is reflected in the plans for the Timothy M. Hosea Building at the CaspersenRowing Center. We were very fortunate to have had a front row seat to witness the unselfish way that Tim put the health and welfare of his patients and rowers first and foremost. We are committed to honoring Tim’s commitment and dedication through the construction of the Timothy M. Hosea Expansion. Thank you Doc Hosea!

With its central east coast location, abundant venue space, top-rated 2,000 meter course and some of the best volunteers in the country, Mercer Lake in Mercer County Park has become one of the most sought after rowing venues in the country. In 2015: - Over 15,600 seats were rowed in Junior, Collegiate, Elite and competition - 27 National Champions and 50 Regional and Conference Champions were crowned - 57 National Team Boats for the Senior, U23, Junior, Pararowing World Championships Mercerrcer County Executive Brian Hughes presents the trophytrophy and PanAm Games were selected at competitions or camps held on Mercer Lake too the IRA National Champion Stanford University - Over 70,000 spectators attended regattas LightweightLightweight Women The PNRA's staff and Conducting top level regattas and events at volunteers' commitment to running first-class regattas is evident in their hard work and dedication.

Princeton National Rowing Association’s 2015 Rowing Regattas Contributed $10.16 Million in Total Sales to Mercer County An updated economic impact study performed and announced by PNRA and the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Sports and Entertainment Committee showed that PNRA’s Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno presents regattas again in 2015 made a significant contribution of over $10.16 million in sales, the trophy to the IRA National Champion University of 4,349 jobs and $469,400 in tax revenue to the local economy. Washington Crew PNRA continues to explore ways to fulfill its mission to bring rowing to the residents of Mercer County and beyond. In 2015, PNRA’s 5 Learn To Row Novice Summer camps introducd 185 Juniors, grades 7-12 , to the sport of rowing. Many of these youth attended more than on session and joined the Mercer Junior Rowing team in the fall. PNRA continued to work with Trenton Central High School West to provide rowing activities to the students of the school. We are continuing to seek out ways to expand our reach in the Trenton area to bring the benefits of rowing, inluding fitness, discipline, teamwork, to more youth. PNRA joined with Ivy Hall Productions to create a Corporate Team Building day for two locally based coporations. Two time Olympian joined to make the events memorable for all who paritipated. At PNRA, development goes well beyond our athletes. Through our Junior and Masters programs, we are in a unique position to begin the coaching careers of many National Team athletes and college graduates. During the 2014-2015 year, we conducted multiple coaching workshops for the coaches at Caspersen Rowing Center. Coaches who have started with the Mercer Program have gone on to coach Novice Summer Rowing Campers at Wisconsin, Harvard, Yale, Northeastern, Stanford, San Diego Rowing Club, WYRA, Penn, Princeton, Capital City Rowing, Indianapolis Rowing Center, GOPS Chattanooga, Michigan State, Greenwich Crew, Seattle University, Community Rowing Inc., Wayland Weston Crew, Georgetown, Dayton Boat Club, Ohio State, Duke and Gentle Giant Rowing Club.

Expand rowing in the greater Mercer County and beyond . . .

Highlights - Hosted its annual Learn To Row Day for 75 local residents - Coordinated the Mercer County Olympic Day Celebration - 185 Juniors, grades 7-12, learned to row at PNRA’s Novice Learn to Row Camps - Continued relationship with Trenton Central High School West (TCHSW) Physical Education program - Hosted two Corporate Team Building Rowing events at the Caspersen Rowing Center Campers at PNRA’s Novice Summer Rowing Camp Session I in 2015 Expanding for the Future . . .

With growing interest in the sport and the recognition of its advantages for developing mental and physical strength and endurance, the Caspersen Rowing Center no longer meets the needs of the constituents who use it on a year-round basis. Each winter, PNRA must turn away 120 junior rowers for lack of indoor workout space. Similarly, limited indoor facilities compel the National Team to find training options off-site. The potential for PNRA’s Outreach as a vehicle for raising the fitness and achievement levels of students in the Trenton public schools is curtailed by the limitations of the boathouse. Further, incorporating popular public programs and high-profile rowing entities under one roof will enable PNRA to continue to attract major events to Mercer Lake, with a proven benefit to local communities and businesses.

Tim Hosea gave selflessly to rowers and anyone in need. This facility, which will inspire and benefit not only the current generation of rowers but many more in the future, is a fitting tribute to his life’s work.

The proposed expansion will add 36,000 square feet to the existing facility to better serve the training needs of the U.S. National Team, support the growth of the Mercer Junior Rowing Club and other public programs for students in grades 7-12, broaden the scope of the Rowing Is Growing (RIG) outreach 1.
