Row It Forward is back again at Assembly Row, and the two-week contest will provide more than $35,000 to local nonprofits. Dollars spent at Assembly Row are turned into points, with shoppers (and diners) directing them to a chosen nonprofit. The nonprofit with the most points on Aug. 23 will receive a $20,000 grant, courtesy of Assembly Row. Last Hope K9 Rescue was the top beneficiary last year. More than 90 nonprofits are participating this year.
Would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
