On Sunday November 15th my son and I, along with our friends (Rhiarose & Roman) took the 100 Wave Challenge at Cardiff Beach in San Diego for Boys to Men in order to support their efforts to bring positive male mentorship to hundreds of young men in San Diego County.

Boys to Men Mentoring is a nonprofit organization faciliating consistent group mentoring for hundreds of fatherless, at-risk, and disconnected teenage boys in San Diego County. Before the pandemic, Boys to Men was serving over 800 boys with the support of 35 school and community partners across the county.

Due to COVID-19, Boys to Men has been working tirelessly to keep the boys connected to their mentors. In April, Boys to Men created a weekly virtual mentoring program and are also working with all of their school partners to reestablish as many in-school groups by Fall 2020 as possible. 

There is nothing more powerful than giving a person a community of support and the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. I hope to do that this year by attempting to catch 100 waves in one day to raise money and awareness for Boys to Men. 

If you can support my efforts, please donate now!
