The festival’s opening night fundraiser is supporting the following charities this year: TheraSurf, Emily Shane Foundation, and The Karl LaDue Wodakota Foundation. An auction will also take place offering luxury and high end items to raise additional funds for the charity recipients.

TheraSurf’s goal is to provide children with special needs the opportunity to benefit from that positive energy of the ocean by safely getting them into the water and up on waves. They help children and their families access the stoke of surf culture, and aspire to create a can-do environment in a world full of limitations.

The Emily Shane Foundation provides individualized intensive mentoring to struggling/ failing middle school students in the mainstream classroom.

The Karl LaDue Wodakota Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to the education of native youth with knowledge and skills that enable them to embrace their traditional heritage and culture. – and tonight we’ll be honoring Chief Arvol Looking Horse, who led the fight against the North Dakota pipeline.

Tickets are $200 in advance, and the location and time are as follows:

22969 Pacific Coast Highway

Thursday, May 18 2017, 6:30 p.m. – 2:30 a.m.
