Lake Surfistas is entirely managed and funded by a group of volunteers who donate their time and resources to build community and grow women’s surf/sup on the Great Lakes.
We’re so excited that Lake Surfistas has grown and flourished, with women and girls joining us from across North America. In order for us to expand and evolve, we have looked for ways to raise funds to keep the stoke high - we do this with donations from our wonderful community, through raffle tickets sales, and gear and merchandise support from generous surf and sup companies.
Here’s some of the things we’ve been able to do with your support and recognition:
Shoreline beach clean ups
Annual Beach Day gathering
Workshops and knowledge resources
Presentations and speaker opportunities
With your continued support, we will be able to offset our administrative costs associated running events, and operating our new gear library.
How we elevate the community
Our proceeds go towards running our events; to donations for on-going surf and SUP related fund-raisers and activities; and other charitable calls-to-action within the community at large. Here’s who we’ve given to so far:
