Dear Sponsors,
On December 1, 2007 (World AIDS Day), the international media was in position

to disiminate images, audio and print media on Victor Mooney's second attempt to row across the Atlantic Ocean. In some instances, stories was still broadcast worldwide. Unfortunetely, Mooney just didn't recieve adequate sponsorship. You now have another opportunity to join a remarkable journey of Victor's determination to succeed. On December 1, 2008, Victor will leave Goree Island, Senegal and row to The Brooklyn Bridge.
Even in adverse market conditions, companies still must advertise. This is an cause-related event that offers a adequate return. Your sponsorship is 100% tax deductible. Contact us and we will provide you the required 501c3 determination letter from IRS.

Goree Challenge II will provide a global platform that embodies the spirit of teamwork and dedication. Using the state-of-art technology, this boat will be equipped to interact globally via the world-wide web using satelite telephone systems with sponsors, media and the general public. The billions will again follow Victor Mooney's journey across the Atlantic Ocean; thereby, providing a educational platform for learning about health, math, science, history, financial literacy and the environment.
By sponsoring Goree Challenge II, your company will gain unique exposure through what is essentially a massive global billboard reaching billions of people worldwide.
Be a part of history and support this mission. When successfull, Victor will be the first African-American to row across the Atlantic Ocean. In his first attempt - Goree Challenge I (May 6, 2006), it was seen worldwide via television, print, radio and web content (see media coverage). The Equivalent Advertising Value (EAV) was over five million USD (over a three year period).
Below, you'll find levels of sponsorship. After the cost of Goree Challenge II (estimated $100,000), all funds will be donated to AIDS Charities and for the procurement of antiretroviral medicine.
Afters Victor Mooney's first visit to The United Arab Emirates Red Crescent Office in Abu Dhabi, he was encouraged to also highlight the epidemic of AIDS in East Africa. When Victor arrives at the Brooklyn Bridge, he plans to row from Djibouti, East Africa to the United Arab Emirates - about thirty days later. Mooney will make stops in Somalia, Yemen, Oman and Dubai. Victor should arrive at The Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi during or shortly after Ramadan.
