THE MISSION
Empowering the Next Generation
The impact of The Arctic Challenge goes far beyond the 4 athletes and the Arctic Ocean. With the mission to inspire young minds, the team aims to challenge the next generation to defy their 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 supporting New Orleans youth: Covenant House New Orleans and Laureus Sport for Good New Orleans.

“Using this challenge to inspire young people is very meaningful for me. As someone who has experienced homelessness, I recognize the importance of not letting your circumstances define your future. Through this challenge, we will showcase the power of determination, teamwork and resilience, and I am thrilled to use it as a platform for empowering kids to pursue their wildest dreams.”
- Jimmy Graham
