We removed over 40 contractor bags worth of invasive plants and litter from the riverbanks of the Passaic River in Newark!

We also used proprietary @amaearthgroup technology to inform our work, conducting an environmental site assessment on the parcel to inform our strategy 🙌

Thanks to the 20+ volunteers and community organizers that took part in the event 🔥

Al Coutinho was a pillar of the Ironbound—a tireless champion for his community, education, and our youth. ⚽️🙏

Naming this field at Riverfront Park in his honor will keep his legacy alive in every young person who plays here.

We miss Al deeply, but we carry his mission forward every day.

Our athletes earned seven podium (2 gold, 2 silvers, and 3 bronze) finishes across 9 sculling events yesterday @headotpassaic .

This was our best collective effort at this regatta to date! Thank you to all of our coaches, donors, educators, family, and friends who make developing these young people within the sport possible!

Day 999. Night 🦉 5km runner day

The most dangerous day of a streak
is not the hard day.

It’s the comfortable day you decide to skip.

“I’ve earned it.”
“Just once.”
“I’ll do double tomorrow.”

999 days of not earning a skip.

You don’t earn a skip.
You earn the identity.
The identity doesn’t take days off. 🔑💰
