Partners & Sustainability

By participating in The Ferryman’s Challenge, you are not just racing, but prioritizing the health of the Occoquan and our local waterways. With every stroke, we're donating to local organizations committed to watershed health & environmental conservation, and organizations driven to make rowing accessible to everyone. We are ensuring that our dedication and love for racing leaves a lasting positive impact on the rowing community & world around us.

We are looking for partners to not only help support the regatta and provide the best experience and rewards for our athletes, but also organizations to work together to accomplish our goals of: environmental stewardship, supporting education through sport, and promoting high level rowing in the United States.
