I am taking the 100 Wave Challenge by attempting to catch 100 waves in ONE DAY and raise $1,000 for a remarkable organization called Boys to Men Mentoring.

"For a Kook like me, 100 waves is going to be a tall order to achieve, but I am accepting this challenge because I believe in what Boys to Men is doing. I have been a mentor for over 2 years, I have had hard conversations with boys about things I never would expect an 11 or 12 year old to have to deal with. In the world they live in they have no real understanding of what a good man is, many do not have a father in their lives, no real role model and no one to challenge them to work hard for the goals they have set. It shocked me when I was told by a boy that a 1.8 GPA was doing good in school. Over the course of 5 months this same boy bumped his grade up to a 3.2 just with someone in his court challenging him to do better. I cannot explain enough the value of what I have seen in Boys to Men and what they are doing in the community with at-risk boys."

Boys to Men Mentoring (BTM) is a group mentoring program working to connect hundreds of teenage boys to positive male role models they can depend on. BTM programs include weekly, in-school group mentoring, retreat weekends, beach trips, and other activities all geared to improve each boy's overall self-esteem, critical thinking skills, and self-accountability.
