Support Salty Science

In December 2023, our team of four marine scientists is taking part in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge: a 3000-mile rowing race across the Atlantic Ocean, from the Canary Islands to Antigua. We aim to be the fastest women’s team and also raise $300,000 for marine conservation—the cause that unites the four of us. The race itself will be a serious test of our commitment and endurance. But even just making it to the start line in La Gomera will require over two years of meticulous planning, organizing, training and fundraising—a substantial investment of time and money.

 

Our campaign is only possible with the help of our community supporters and corporate sponsors, both monetary and in-kind. Sponsoring Salty Science offers a chance for global media coverage and numerous branding opportunities.

* ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE *

THREE WAYS TO DONATE

COMMUNITY DONATION

We are aiming $300,000 for three non-profit organizations that are helping enact positive change for our oceans. We need your support, and donations of any amount are welcome—every little bit helps! Since we are asking corporate sponsors to cover the cost of the race, 100% of the community support goes to the marine conservation charities.

DONATE ANY AMOUNT

SPONSOR A MILE

We’ll be rowing 3000 miles, all powered by our oars. Can you sponsor one of those miles for $100? Community sponsors who donate $100 will be listed on this website. Additionally, on the day that we row the mile that you sponsored we’ll give you a sweet shout out on social media!

SPONSOR A MILE

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP

We are looking for corporate sponsors to support the cost of the race: purchasing our boat and all necessary equipment, covering the cost of training courses and related travel. Think we are a good fit for your brand? We’d love to hear from you! Email us at info@saltyscience.org. The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge generates substantial media attention. Our boat will showcase the logos of corporate sponsors, and we will enthusiastically acknowledge support on our website and social media channels.
