Support our mission!

With less than three months to go until race day, our team is busy rowing, lifting weights, studying and practicing sea skills, and ambitiously fundraising to  reach our $150,000 fundraising goal. Funds we raise support our charity partners, Doctors Without Borders and Athlete Ally, and pay for the special training and equipment we need for a safe and fast row.

Oar the Rainbow is a 501(c)3 non-profit. After our journey's completion, our team will donate the value of all residual resources—including funds from the resale of our equipment and remaining supplies—to our charities.

Like each small stroke we will row over 2,800 miles of ocean, your donation—no matter how small— inches us closer to our goal. Please help us chip away at our target!

Donors who give at or above the $500 level may be considered partnering sponsors and, if desired, receive recognition/promotion such as shout-outs on our social media or even your name on our boat! See our sponsorship page for more information. (Don’t worry, you can stay anonymous, too!)

If you’d like to earmark your donation toward our food supply for the crossing and receive instructions on how to write your own letter to a rower to open during the crossing, check out our Send a Letter to Sea campaign page!

Donations completed on this page are secure and automatically receive a tax donation receipt via email.

Our team is also able to accept donations in person via cash or check written to “Oar the Rainbow”. If you’d like to donate via ACH transfer, please email us at info@oartherainbow.org.

Checks may also be mailed to:
