On Saturday, September 26, I’m proud to be a Surf Angel for the 17th Annual 100 Wave Challenge, raising awareness and funds in support of Boys to Men Mentoring.

I may not be paddling out for 100 waves, but I’m taking on a challenge of my own: rallying my community to help change the trajectory of young men’s lives.

Boys to Men Mentoring connects teenage boys with positive male mentors and a community of support where they can build confidence, navigate life’s challenges, and discover their potential. It’s a place where young men know they don’t have to face life alone.

Every surfer needs someone in their corner — and so does every boy. As a Surf Angel, I’m standing behind the young men of Boys to Men and asking you to stand with me.

I’d be honored if you’d support my 100 Wave Challenge fundraiser with a donation. Every gift helps provide the mentorship, guidance, encouragement, and community these young men deserve.

You don’t have to catch a wave to make one. Let’s change lives together.
