THE MISSION
Empowering the Next Generation
The impact of The Arctic Challenge went far beyond the four athletes and the Arctic Ocean. While the row is complete, the mission continues — to inspire young minds and challenge the next generation to defy limiting beliefs and chart their own course toward extraordinary achievements.
CHARITY PARTNERS
The Arctic Challenge is proud to support two non-profit organizations dedicated to New Orleans youth: Covenant House New Orleans and Laureus Sport for Good New Orleans. The team championed these incredible charity partners through service, visibility, and fundraising — and the mission continues. Learn more about our charity partners by visiting their websites, and consider making a donation to help create lasting impact.
"This row was about showing young people that no matter where you start, you can rise above the limits others set for you. I’ve done it in my own life through hard work, relentless perseverance, and refusing to let my circumstances define me. I wanted them to see that possibility for themselves and to know, without question, that I believe in them and their ability to achieve whatever they dream."
- Jimmy Graham
MISSION IN-ACTION
The team committed to amplifying The Arctic Challenge’s impact through hands-on engagement in the New Orleans community. In addition to raising funds for Covenant House New Orleans and Laureus Sport for Good, they connected with youth through service — from meeting Covenant House residents to engaging with youth sports and speaking at local schools. While the row is complete, the mission to uplift youth in New Orleans continues.
Veterans Association for the Norwegian Naval Special Operations Command (VF MJK)
In gratitude to our host country, a portion of funds will support VF MJK, an organization that provides community, support, and legacy preservation for Norway’s elite naval special forces and their families.
