Send a Letter to Sea

A self-propelled journey across an ocean requires no small amount of fuel and motivation. To row 2800 miles, each rower will consume ~4500 calories per day— about half of which will come from their daily “Snack Pack” (a gallon-size bag of pre-portioned snacks). And since we’ll need plenty of mental fuel too, tucked inside each Snack Pack we also hope to find… a letter from you!

By helping to sponsor a rower’s daily Snack Pack, you can provide us with both physical and mental fuel. When you contribute to our Snack Pack Campaign, we’ll send you an email receipt with instructions on how to send the rower of your choice a digital or physical letter to take to sea. Letters for each rower will be individually and secretly distributed amongst their Snack Pack bags, allowing them to read one surprise letter per day of the crossing. Donations to this campaign start at a sliding scale of $15 and will help cover the cost of our dehydrated meals and Snack Packs.

Tasty snacks and letters from home are two of the most important things we will have to boost morale at sea. Maybe you will include a joke, or a poem, or even a little drawing inside! Maybe there will be a lot of words, or maybe just a few. If you have a lot of words, maybe you’ll send two or three! Whatever you include in your note(s), it’s sure to be one of the brightest spots of the day.
