Team Update July 2020

Pacific Boys Team is proud to announce our campaign #3000for3000 in partnership with Assistance League of Seattle and their program Operation School Bell.

Assistance League is a volunteer run non-profit who work to remove barriers to education for at-risk, disadvantaged students, giving them hope and inspiration for a brighter tomorrow.

Pacific Boys Team will be rowing 3000 miles in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge across the Atlantic Ocean and aspires to provide 3000 underprivileged children with clothes for school through Operation School Bell.

3000, for 3000.

This ambitious new campaign will require us to work hard to raise the $300,000 required to achieve this important goal. During these more challenging times, this support is even more critical. In fact, currently most donations to Operation School Bell are helping children cover basic needs for food instead of clothing for school! We encourage, and welcome, your ideas and suggestions to complete this important objective.

The Team’s first step in #3000for3000 was a test-pilot public event in which we offered free rides on our ocean rowing boat. In full respect of the current COVID-19 restrictions the team exercised social distancing and outfitted the boat with a homemade Covid shield.

This pilot event proved we could safely, and repeatedly, use our boat for community engagement. Most importantly, we raised awareness for Operation School Bell. This has us energized to organize future events, several of which are already being planned.

GET INVOLVED: we are looking for backup rowers to train with us and volunteers to be part of the team. Contact us, let us know what role you would like to get involved in, and a brief outline of your experience.

HELP US HELP OTHERS: know of organisation or causes we could engage with and help? Have ideas on new, or existing events that we could participate in to help the community? Contact us now. 

August will be a very busy month for the team. We will be hosting multiple events while cranking up the team’s on-the-water training. Follow us on Instagram and track our progress during our 48 hour marathon row.

Please keep safe.

Adventure On,

Pacific Boys Team
