Row for Blood - Pacific Ocean Row
Donation protected
I am Brenda Robbins, from Vancouver, BC, and I am running this crowdfunding campaign to raise money to cover the cost of participating in my ocean rowing charity adventure.
As soon as I have the funds covered (from sponsors & crowdfunders) to participate in The Great Pacific Race (approx. $45,000) then this crowdfunding campaign will end and the charity fundraising campaign will begin. However, charity donations are encouraged at any point. I have chosen The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada to benefit from the high-profile nature of ocean rowing events. All donations to LLSC are received HERE (link to charity donation page).
How the funds will be spent:
*Fee to participate in the Great Pacific Race (which includes, race fee, boat, communication equipment, safety supplies, and more) = $30,000 (or more depending on how low the CAN $ goes)
* Food to take onboard for up to 60 days or more = $5000 (or less if in-kind donations can be acquired)
* Flights and accomodation (including training trips to California to train with the team = $10,000
TOTAL = $45,000
All contributors will get their name on the boat & companies who sponsor will get their logo on the boat, website, social media, & short documentary upon completion.
*********************************************************
Change of Course (from when I was raising money to go solo on the Atlantic Ocean - that'll happen some other time):
On June 4th, 2016, Brenda Robbins, as part of all-female team of four will row from California to Hawaii in a 24 ft ocean rowboat. Rowing 2 hrs, then taking 2 hrs off, the team plans to break the world record for fastest female team across the Pacific.
If successful, Brenda may be the first Canadian to row the Pacific Ocean.
*****
This team placement in The Great Pacific Race is a "Pay-Per-Seat" arrangement which means that the boat, supplies, and emergency equipment are supplied to me with minimal preparation on my part. I pay my portion and I focus on training with the team.
This means that your contribution or sponsorship is that much more valuable. This dream, this campaign, this charity fundraiser will happen for a fraction of the cost of going solo and preparing and paying for everything on my own. That means your dollar goes further and has an immediate impact on the success of this campaign.
Your contribution is greatly appreciated.
