Where do the net proceeds go?
The money will go directly to Suncoast Surfrider Foundation and we are going to donate 50% of the net proceeds to charitable organizations that are helping “oiled animals” affected by the oil spill. The other 50% of the money will be allocated for water testing kits, and used to address other chapter needs. Please Email Ron at ifeelswell@yahoo.com for more info on this event!
