Mahalo for your interest in our 8th Annual Surf to the Turf Golf Tournament. Our sponsors, golfers and donors are vital to keeping our mentoring program, “Spirit Sessions,” free for our youth and families in need!
Last year, thanks to your support, we were able to raise nearly $20,000 to strengthen our adult mentoring programs for at-risk, vulnerable and adjudicated teens on Oahu. We look forward to partnering with you again this year and welcome our newcomers.
PURPOSE
SURF TO THE TURF is Surfrider Spirit Sessions’ annual golf fundraiser to help continue our youth mentoring programs. We help at-risk and adjudicated kids stay navigate through an often turbulent adolescence and get stoked on life!
Problem We Help Solve:
There are thousands of youth in Hawaii’s juvenile justice system. Many of them are victims of abuse and neglect, struggling to survive.
Without adequate guidance and support, many will never reach their full potential and may never know the good they can contribute to our community. With many youth isolated from school, friends and activities during our recent COVID-19 crisis, many youth need quality outdoor activities and opportunities to socialize more than ever. Surfrider Spirit Sessions is a grassroots 501c3 non-profit organization that works with Hawaii State Family Courts, the Department of Education and other Hawaii youth agencies to match at-risk and adjudicated teens with volunteer adult mentors and an uplifting surfing experience.
Our Programs Work!
Hawaii courts and parents report a significant reduction in truancy, drug use, violent outbursts, antisocial behavior, and incarceration rates among youth who participate in SSS programs. To date we’ve helped about 900 youth get back on track. Your support will help us redirect young lives in positive directions!
