Ray Fusco: Hudson Valley Hero

Kayaker extraordinaire Ray Fusco has used his talents to connect thousands of people to the Hudson- through races and tours he has organized and lead, by founding a high school kayak program at Beacon High School, and by offering his time and talents at numerous Scenic Hudson events. Ray knows the greatest way to experience the river is to paddle on it, and he's been tireless in his efforts to make that happen for so many.

“I shared my love for the Hudson River with the Beacon students because a generation without the river is a generation lost.”
