Printable Article

Alan Kitty and Steve Raffuel, founders of Row4Life, will speak on "Saving Lives through Sport: A Primer in creating Sport-Charity Events, at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, in the Finger Lakes Institute Classroom, 601 S. Main St. Their appearance is tri-sponsored by the Finger Lakes Institute, the William Smith rowing team, and the Center for Community Engagement and Service-Learning.

Taking a break from their 300-mile rowing odyssey on the Erie Canal, Kitty and Raffuel will speak about the nuts and bolts of putting together an athletics-based charity fund-raising event.

The pair will be rowing from Buffalo, N.Y., to the Hudson River starting on Saturday, Sept. 8, and will describe how rowing has impacted their lives, their desire to use their sport to help make the world a better place, and how their event is helping to create awareness of the environment on the Erie Canal.
