Corporate Sponsorships
If your organization is interested in a corporate sponsorship, we'd be happy to talk further about how we can partner. We're aware of the publicity and coverage that comes with a project like this and we are committed to making this a great investment for your organization. We would likely offer a package along the following lines:
- Your organization's name on the boat, clearly visible in race coverage. Size/location depending on the sponsorship package.
- On-land events and programming for members of your organization.
- Shoutouts and endorsement on our blog and social media channels.
Please let us know when you would be free for a quick meeting to discuss potential sponsorship packages.
Individual Donations
Thank you for joining our effort! We are currently trying to put together the funds for our journey. At a later phase, we will shift to fundraising for charities that work on water body health and conservation.
If you are able and willing to support our journey, we appreciate you already! We prefer to get to know our supporters personally, so please choose a time according to your convenience for a short 15-20 minute introduction. Alternatively, you can leave us a message below.
If you would like updates on our fundraising campaigns for charity, we appreciate you too! We're still selecting benecificaries, but you can sign up for our newsletter and receive an update when donation links are available.
