Our sponsors share the vision that we can apply our resources to make this world a better place to live. They also believe that we can influence the future generations by educating and inspiring them about the possibilities. With the help of our sponsors, we will deliver on our promises quicker, and for that we are grateful!

If you would like to be part of this exciting endeavor as a corporate sponsor, and would like to collaborate with us in your marketing efforts, as a future corporate sponsor, you can contact us for our sponsorship opportunities.

Also listed below are the donations that we received in the chronological order from individual donors - their donations mean that they share our dream and that we are on the right track. Their contributions validate our dream, and for that we are thankful. Future individual contributors can review their options here.

Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities Available

Title Sponsor: How would you like to be associated with historic firsts? Think about a long term branding opportunity which will last forever. Naming the Pacific crossing as a corporate challenge will buy you that distinction. You will also earn the first right of refusal to name the remaining sections for more impact.

Did you know that Erden is planning a second circumnavigation by human power?

Boat Sponsor: The last team to use our boat named her Calderdale. The Boat Sponsor will have the naming rights to this ocean rowing boat. The name may be a corporate brand or a message which supports our nonprofit mission.

Blade Sponsor: The Blade Sponsor will have have the right to place their logo or message on our oar blades. This eye catching piece of equipment representative of the hardwork and dedication required in ocean rowing, is very visible both in video footage and in images of the rowboat.

Summit Sponsor: The Six Summits Project will reach the highest summits on six different continents. We have this opportunity available for six funding sponsors.

Education Sponsor: This category is open to additional sponsors who will specifically support our educational initiatives. Our Educational Fund for Content and Communication will be replenished with this category of sponsorships.

Special Category sponsors: Working with the potential sponsors, we will identify specific areas of sponsorship which will highlight their corporate branding. This creative approach will allow us to tailor the needs of our sponsors for the most benefit from the human powered journey and the associated educational effort.
