Sponsor Us

Become an official sponsor!

Welcome to Oar the Rainbow’s official sponsorship page and your opportunity to become part our journey in the 2025 World's Toughest Row Pacific Challenge.

We are a dedicated team of adventurous souls, embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime challenge to row across the Pacific Ocean—entirely unassisted and powered only by our oars. While we are driven to complete our crossing in world record time, our mission also extends beyond the oars: together we are supporting the work of our charities, advancing representation in our sport, inspiring our communities, and educating a global audience through this epic adventure.

By partnering with Oar the Rainbow, a 501(c)3 non-profit, your organization aligns itself with a team committed to pushing the boundaries of endurance and achieving the extraordinary. Your sponsorship is more than a financial commitment; it's an opportunity to be part of a unique story and multi-year journey that captures the imagination of audiences worldwide. Will you join us?

Why Oar the Rainbow?

Your generous support not only contributes to our successful race and charity fundraising, but also offers you a powerful, tax-deductible platform for brand visibility and recognition.

As we document our journey on our website, social media, and in news media coverage, your featured logo and message will reach a diverse global audience with a passion for adventure and a commitment to diversity and inclusion in athletics.

In Massachusetts, prominent branding on our equipment will be visible to hundreds of thousands locally as the team trains along the Charles River, around Boston Harbor, and up and down the eastern shore. The dedicated publicity team of the World's Toughest Row further multiplies our impact, bringing the race, our team, and your support to millions worldwide (jump to media stats).

Sponsorship Packages

With a timeline of just one year, our team has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $250,000. Funds we raise will 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. After our journey's completion, our team will donate the value of all residual resources—including funds from the resale of equipment and remaining supplies— to our charities.
