A great start to our 2024 Equip For Living Foundation Surf Events. Generous donations help fund our surfing and grant programs. York Maine Rotary Club does so much to support the community and was extremely generous by providing us with a $5,000 grant for both our Equip for Surfing and Equip For Living Grant programs. We would also like to thank Liquid Dreams Surf Shop, York Beach Ocean Rescue, York Maine Police Department, and of course our participants and volunteers.

It is not too late to register to volunteer or participate in our next two events on July 11 and August 8. Just click here to register.
