Support Raven Clan
Each month, the cost of operating the kennel is, at minimum, $600. This cost has been further increased due to the fishing ban for salmon on the Yukon River. In the past, we have relied on this salmon to feed our dogs throughout the winter. Now, the cost of purchasing meat to feed during the colder months can raise our monthly operating cost to $1,000.
In addition to food, there are regular health costs for the dogs. Our dogs receive annual vaccinations, we spay and neuter our young pups and we always like to have emergency vet funds on hand.

Sponsor an individual dog from our kennel. We have Lead dogs, team dogs and wheel dogs to choose from. Have your name appear underneath your dogs details on our dog page.
Part of keeping our dogs healthy is keeping their bodies warm and protected. Both in their houses in the dogyard and on long runs, we’ll use straw to insulate the dogs from the ground, creating a warm and cozy bed for them. On many of our runs, the dogs wear booties to protect their feet. These booties are $1 per booty and due to constant use, they regularly need to be replaced (mushers go through thousands of booties per year!).

Finally, there is the cost of gear. As mushers, we are always looking for the highest quality gear to keep us warm and our dogs safe. Throughout the season we may need to repair our sled, replace the gang line, purchase fuel for the cook stoves we use on long runs, etc.
Sponsor the kennel
Raven Clan Kennels couldn’t run without the generous support of our sponsors. We currently offer four tiers of sponsorship, named for the positions of dogs on our team and the next generation of sled dogs. Our largest sponsors, like the Lead Dogs, will help guide us along the way to the finish line. Our mid-tier sponsors, like the mighty Wheel Dogs, will get the sled moving and keep us moving forward. And our Team Dog sponsors will keep us steady, motivated and maintaining pace.

Raven Clan Kennels could not run without the sponsorships and donations we receive.
Jody will be the third Alaska Native woman to run this iconic race in its 50 year history.
We appreciate your support!
