It costs more than $300,000 to bring the Klondike teams to the finish line. This includes offering a $40,000 purse to attract the world-class athletes who compete in our race. While business sponsorships remain our primary source of funding, we recently added an opportunity for individuals and families to help cover costs as well. Contributions are tax-deductible as we are a nonprofit organization, and 100% of our net proceeds go toward supporting both our two- and four-legged friends through our three charity partners: Can Do CaninesAdopt a Husky Minnesota and ICA Food Shelf
