Tim Brauch Foundation

The Tim Brauch foundation is a amazing foundation that helps kids get to go to Woodward west skate board camp and helps them excel in school and helps them get into college. I can't wait to help out with our upcoming skate competitions. It is a very fun and caring Foundation that cares about all of its members. This is a 5 start for sure.

Tim Brauch foundation is a great nonprofit. They are always trying to make the world better and help people. There are meetings every month and always something new about the things coming up. I am a junior board member that just stared and its super cool. I am looking forward to all the skate board competitions and helping out. This is a great nonprofit that will hopefully get me in a great college. I am looking forward to being a junior board member for Tim Brauch Foundation.

The Tim Branch Foundation is an amazing and fun non profit. As a Junior Board member I am looking forward to all of the exiting and fun events like helping out at skateboarding competitions, helping with murals and many more! I also love how everybody in this non profit cares about everyone and everything. I also love how they include people of all ages to be apart of the non profit. I think that this is an amazing non profit with so many chances to get into a great collage! The Tim Brauch Foundation also host meetings every month and they always tell us something new and exiting. I would definitely recommend this non profit to everyone.

The Tim Brauch Foundation is a great non profit. There are meetings every month and each meeting they have something new and exciting to share. As a junior board member I am looking forward to helping out at skateboarding competitions, murals, and much more! This non profit will hopefully help me get into a great college. I am looking forward for the journey with this non profit.

The Tim Brauch foundation is and amazing and fun nonprofit.I think it is amazing how much they care about and help people. I am a junior board member and i have only been to a few of the monthly meetings and i already love it! I am so happy that i got asked by my teacher Brittany Birchall to become a junior board member. Im looking forward to all of the skateboards competitions and skateboarding camps and im especially looking forward to getting into a good college and being a junior board member!

The Tim Brauch Foundation is a 5-star nonprofit because of many reasons. This foundation cares for everyone and helps lots of people. I am a new junior board member, and so far, the Tim Brauch Foundation is a fun, successful, and awesome nonprofit. It far exceeded my expectations and I love to be a part of this great foundation. Every meeting, there is always new, fun stuff like a mural being painted or being able to work on a fun project for sponsors. All of the board members are very nice and have a great attitude, and I can't wait for the skateboarding competitions and getting to work a lot more with this nonprofit. Anyways, the Tim Brauch Foundation is as good as it gets.

Tim Brauch is a huge asset to our community here in Santa Cruz and to all kids that love to skate. Not only do they grant scholarships to kids to attend skate camps, they also provide local high school and middle school students opportunities to learn how a nonprofit is run and awesome skills like grant writing, event planning and tons of other projects.

I volunteer with the Tim Brauch foundation and am always in awe of how the board engages young people. All of the junior board members have the opportunity to participate in and learn about all aspects of what it takes to run a non profit. The experience for these kids is so incredible and will help launch them into such incredible futures.

I have volunteered for the Tim Brauch Foundation for many years and it has been awesome to see our communities youth participating from local kids entering the skate contests, to our junior board members writing grants, fundraising, and recruiting other kids to join. It's so cool to see our teamwork come to life in such a positive way!

They bring in youth and teach them great skills. Glad my daughter gets to learn from great people who care.

The Tim Brauch Foundation blows me away with the ability to serve young people in the area under the passions of skateboarding culture and art, which were loved by Tim and continue to honor him. As a board member, I am inspired by everyone involved! The board is composed of adults and junior board members that make the entire vision come to life, which instills character, integrity, and leadership opportunities especially for young people. I could not be more honored myself to get to serve as a board member, and I thank Cindi for allowing me the opportunity to participate and for her mentorship. I am excited for what's to come!

I recently joined the Tim Brauch Junior Board and I am so excited to help this foundation run. I joined this team because I love how it supports the young people of this community. This foundation helps me to stay in touch with the Santa Cruz community while teaching me the ins and outs of a nonprofit. I'm very excited to work with these people throughout my high school career and see where this organization takes me!

I have had the honor of being involved with the Tim Brauch foundation for over 10 years. My whole family has been involved in a number of ways - the board, advisory board, junior board, volunteering and watching the amazing skate contests. The organization brings so much goodness to the world through both its skateboarding and art initiatives. In the process of raising funds to provide scholarships to Woodward West and collaborate on art programs for youth in extended care situations, the foundation empowers our next generation of leaders on the junior board, giving them an equal voice regardless of age and ownership of responsibilities to help achieve agreed upon goals, All of these leaders embody the mission inspired by Tim, and model self respect, perseverance, independence, creativity and integrity. Through skate, art and friendship, the Tim Brauch Foundation has created a community that continues to be inspired by Tim and dedicated to honoring his legacy.

I am an independent third party who does the books for the Tim Brauch Foundation for the last 2 years. In that time, I have witnessed the monthly operations of the board, made up by a mixture of adults and young people. What many may not realize is that not only does the Tim Brauch Foundation offer scholarships to kids, but they mentor young people on how non-profits and businesses work, how to brainstorm and project manage events, and how to do professional writing. This foundation is focused on kids' personal development throughout. I've been very impressed with the integrity of the organization.

The Tim Brauch Foundation keeps the generous spirit of Tim alive and his desire to give back to the skateboard community.

By providing the opportunity for the Santa Cruz and CA youth to participate in Woodward West the Tim Brauch foundation is supporting the active outdoor skateboarding lifestyle in our communities. Bring together young skateboards and artists from around CA to build confidence, friendships and a supportive community. We feel very fortunate to have this in our area... and to have received a scholarship for our son. Thank you.

We love this foundation. My kids have had the opportunity to attend Woodward because of this foundation and we feel very grateful for that because financially, I could never afford to send them. If it wasn't for this foundation, they would never have had that chance and everyone we've been in contact with has been truly kind and helpful. What an amazing foundation! Thank you!

Such good work and really gets teens involved! I really appreciate all this foundation has done.

My time with Tim Brauch has truly been eye opening. I was amazed with what this non profit does for the children. After the under privileged kids that had the opportunity to go to Woodward, they came back different people. They were so inspired by what the world has to offer and didn't realize that these opportunities were obtainable to them. It was really heart warming to see an organization make a noticeable and positive impact on people.

My son dreamed about going to Woodward, but it was financially out of reach for our family. He was over the moon when the foundation notified us he had been chosen for a scholarship. The Tim Brauch Foundation affords kids the opportunity to challenge themselves in many other ways besides skating—though that is the major draw. A week at camp is a chance to build confidence and become more independent. I cannot thank the foundation enough for the work that they do.

Tim Brauch is awesome! I helped prepare some welcome packages for the kids who received scholarships to attend Woodward West summer skate camp. Everyone at the foundation really cares about the work that their doing and are so committed to making a difference in kid's lives.

The Tim Brauch Foundation is a great organization that puts on yearly competitions in the name of improvement and community. I cannot wait to attend another one of their events. Rock on TB Foundation!

The main thing that I like about the Tim Brauch Foundation is that it allows kids that may not have the the opportunity, to go to skateboard camp.

I have been a vendor at this event for 2 years and it's been amazing to see this foundation grow and send more and more kids to Woodward West every year. Super nice people with a solid background. Everything they do is for the kids!!

Love that the Tim Brauch Foundation continues to benefit so many over the years!

When my school presented the opportunity to join the Tim Brauch Foundation as a junior board member, I was overjoyed! Being part of this team has increased my leadership skills, as well as connected me with giving back to my community. The Tim Brauch foundation is a steller organization dedicated to improving the lives of today's youth, and I am so proud to be a part of it!

I just recently joined the Tim Brauch Foundation Junior board, and I am so excited to be on it because it helps these kids who love skating get to camp when their families can’t afford or provide for their kid to go to skate camp. I’m also really excited to join the board because it is a great opportunity for me to learn what it’s like to be on and see it what it takes to run a non profit organization, like the Tim Brauch Foundation. I think getting a first hand experience like this will help me with my career in the future and learn valuable life skills. I am so excited for this opportunity because I get to learn from Cindi Busenhart and the rest of her team on the Tim Brauch Foundation board.

A community driven by skaters and those who support the foundation, is more than cool, its rad. The amount of people who come together to support a non profit is incredible, and shows in the events. Before you realize it, you're apart of something much bigger.

I cannot stress enough how fantastic the work this organization does is. As a board member, I get to strengthen my community and be a part of awesome projects.

The Tim Brauch Foundation is fantastic! The cause is amazing and what they do for the community is great. Love seeing people come together around activities outside like skateboarding.

Amazing foundation! The skate competition they threw was very fun and was great to see the community so involved. Sending kids to Woodward is AMAZING and a dream of so many young skaters. So happy to see a foundation making these dreams come true.

I love volunteering with this non-profit because I can see firsthand how it impacts children and the community. Children who have had the opportunity to attend Woodward have returned home with new found confidence and maturity. They are able to find and excel at their passion all the while learning life-building skills.

Tim was a tour advocate not only for skateboarding but for children and the arts.

I'm pleased I have the ability to honor his memory.

Tim Brauch sent me to camp, where I had a great time! I learned new tricks and made new friends. The best part is I got to go in the Wrecktangle for the first time. The Wrecktangle is a parkour-ninja warrior course. Also, there's skate parks everywhere you go! and the roaster coaster (which used to be a pump track) was paved! so the skate boards could go on it.

My children were both chosen by the Tim Brauch foundation to attend Woodward West action sports camp as skateboarders. It was an amazing experience where they learned new skills, pushed themselves, gained confidence, made new friends, connected with wonderful instructors and leaders. Without Tim Brauch, this would never have been possible!

So inspiring when a non-profit rocks its mission the way “Tim Brauch” does. This is really an amazing association of community-oriented, service-minded people creatively collaborating to provide a unique outlet for valuable training, healthy play and meaningful art to skaters, artists and hospitalized children. The foundation also earnestly involves and supports other young people by tapping their varied talents in real ways to be part of the structure of the non-profit and learn to actively "give back." So much good, honoring friendship and providing legacy, thank you for your example!

The Tim Brauch Foundation works hard to ensure that kids get to pursue their passion, giving them opportunities to advance their skating skills. Beyond that, it’s a great group of people who want to help their community. Being a Junior Board Member, has helped me understand the inner workings of non-profits, events and fundraisers. The Tim Brauch Foundation does great work and I am so grateful to be apart of it.

Well run non-profit that is very mission-focused to help kids. They do a great job at getting volunteers involved and making events successful!

This foundation does great things for kids to keep them skating and give them an opportunity to go to Woodward west which they normally wouldn’t be able to do, Woodard gives them an awesome chance to make friends and bond over skating and learn lots of new things!

The Tim Brauch Foundation is an amazing non profit, focusing on the kids having fun and creating futures at the time time! They get youth involved with the community and teach them how to be fiscally responsible!

Tim Brauch Foundation was formed nearly 20 years ago. Since then it has been giving kids a chance to shine in something they are talented in and passionate about : skateboarding. Its a joy to know that young people are supported in something they love to do. I am proud to be associated with this beautiful network of hardworking, dedicated and committed volunteers.

I am a junior board member for the Tim Brauch foundation. The Tim Brauch foundation is a nonprofit organization that gives kids scholarships to go to Woodward witch is an amazing action sports camp. The problem about Woodward is that its over $1000. A lot of kids like my self dream to go but can't afford it. I have now gone 3 times with a scholarship from the Tim Brauch foundation. I've dreamed of going since i started skating but could never afford it. My dream of going would never have came true without the Tim Brauch and I have now joined to help other kids with the same dream as me come true just like mine did.

Tim Brauch foundation is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait for the next contest!

The Tim Brauch Foundation is a super great non profit that helps kids get to Woodward and experience something that they wouldn’t normally be able to do, it’s awesome to see the kids volunteer and raise money for something they are passionate about !

I've been a board member for 2 years and have found this to be an incredibly positive nonprofit. I sit on the board with my 2 sons, 14yrs and 8yrs . This has been an incredible experience for us all.

Being apart of this foundation has introduced me to many new people, opportunities and fun times. It feels good to help the skating community and make kids smile.

It is one of the best nonprofit organization I have ever been to. It’s a great benefit for young kids which is pretty impressive to me! The money is for the children not for the organization. There is a lot of volunteers which says good things about them.

If there were only one word to describe the Tim Brauch Foundation and it's members, that word, for me, would be inspiration.

The Tim Brauch Foundation's passion to preserve and share the memories, the love, and the legacy of Pro 
Skateboarder Timothy "Tim" Michael Brauch who passed away suddenly in 1999 at the age of 25 due to a heart condition.

The foundation continues to share the legacy and the impresson Tim made on countless friends along his path of 
life around the world. They teach valuable experiences, core values , life lessons, and leadship skills to young children, teens, and adults alike all through positive mentorship and a true passion for the foundation's message.

Much of their message is fueled by the remembrance and spirt of Tim Brauch who belived in, and lived life to it's fullest everyday while making a positive impact on the people he met around the world while inspiring their lives.

The lives that are touched by the foundations efforts inspire long term positive change of these individuals which help them reach goals and have un-forgettable experiences which they may not otherwise have access to.

The foundation, inspires individuals to take the time to live life to it's funnest, it's fullest and to make a positive impact on those who cross our paths along the way.  Like Tim, The Tim Brauch Foundation embodies this message.  Through his spirt, they are a shining light...an active, living oragnaization that inspires everyone that it touches and give hopes to dreamers and make those dreams come true.

I have been fortunate to be a witness, a participant, and a recipient of the dedication and hard work the foundation provides to so many people throughout the u.s. and the world. I am truly thankful for the Foundation, all of it's members and their passion.

I feel lucky (and honored) to have been able to join the Board of Directors two years ago. It's a great feeling of achievement to give kids scholarships to attend Woodward West, the premier action sports summer camp, to raise funds for our Interactive Art Program in cooperation with the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and, to top it off, mentor our Junior Board members to become hardworking and charitable members of our society, all in the name of an amazing individual, Tim Brauch. This is an amazing non-profit organization!

This is one of the best nonprofits I have ever seen. It’s for children of all ages who work very hard. 100 percent goes to the kids who participate. I enjoy going to their events!

Being on the Tim BRAUCH Foundation board has been a true pleasure. We work and plan throughout the year to produce and deliver 2 great contests annually. We do it for the love of our community, skateboarding, and empowering youth. Ultimately resulting in sending kids to Woodward West action sports camp for the best week of their lives.
The contests are the result of months of hard work and a lot of planning; so worth it!

I've sat one the Board of the Tim Brauch Foundation for almost 8 years and have loved every second of it - this foundation does so much to give back to the kids from scholarship recipients to the Interactive Art Connection with Scotty to teaching our Junior Board Members as much as we can while they're on. It's all around an awesome foundation all about the kids!

Working with this nonprofit has been an awesome experience! The events were well organized and fun. Everyone was super positive and worked as a team. I will definitely come back next year because it was a such a great experience for a good cause.

My Name is Spidey De Montrond I am retired professional skateboarder and I attended the Tim Brauch Foundation pool competition. I was impressed by the organization and the event with its emphasis on improving the lives of children through the scholarships they give to kids. I'd wished it was around when I was kid. The staff was so welcoming and knowledgeable. Another aspect I enjoyed was seeing and hearing the kids stories firsthand of how they felt about going to Woodward because of the scholarships provided them.

The Tim Brauch Foundation is super cool. The people, the music, the food and the vibe was so good. The volunteers were great to work with and all was on point and put together well.

I have attended the Tim Brauch Memorial contest for the last 6 years and I have judged it for the last 3 years for World Cup Skateboarding. The contest has been run flawlessly and the volunteers have gone above and beyond to make sure it does. They work with the community and have done some pretty amazing things with their scholarship programs. I look forward to many more great years ahead, and I am proud to be a part of it.

My family has been involved with the Tim Brauch Foundation events for many years now.
This year I was fortunate enough to volunteer at the Scotts Valley street contest. It was a great experience to work with such fun and dedicated people. I look forward to many more.

I just wanted take the opportunity to say how much we appreciate the Tim Brauch Foundation and all of the people involved. Our son is so fortunate to have received the the Woodward Scholarship two years in a row, but it is so much more than that to us and our family. They are all about supporting the skate community and its families. It is great group of people and volunteers that keeps the foundation going. We love helping out and supporting this foundation.
Sincerely,
The Chavez Family

I joined this foundation to help out the skateboarding community. I have been skating for a long time and think that this is a cool way to give back. I went to Camp Woodward and it was an amazing experience. It feels great to help kids go there. At the contests everyone is super friendly. I help out with what I can and have a great time. I'm glad to be part of this foundation and believe it's a very cool thing to be apart of.

The Tim Brauch Foundation is nothing short of stellar! Their passion and drive to serve their community is next to none. The board members go above and beyond the call of duty every year and ask for nothing in return. Their dedication to the cause truly defines altruistic service. They are an excellent partner in the action sports community. They bring enthusiasm, positivity and professionalism to every interaction I have with them. The Lake Cunningham Skate Park is looking forward to a long standing relationship with this outstanding group of people for years to come!

The Tim Brauch foundation is great!!! They have sent me to Woodward and I've bean doing this contest for 7 years and now I'm a junior board member. They are awesome and have never let me down!

As a skateboarder myself since 1975, skateboard industry participant since 1985, as well as live event production experiences in action sports world-wide since 1998, I cannot express the amount of admiration I have for the Tim Brauch Foundation.
The Tim Brauch Foundation is a wonderful organization that honors the memory of San Jose native professional skateboarder, Tim Brauch. Tim is appreciated globally for his prowess on a skateboard as well as his welcoming personality. Since their inception 18 years ago the Tim Brauch Foundation has represented his legacy well with a balance of excellent skateboarding events while continually giving back to the community and youth in general with their programs. Unique to their organization (as far as I know) is their "Junior Board Member Program" that embraces youths who show interest in the inner workings of the organization. These participants are given opportunities to help facilitate all aspects of event planning from initial discussions right through to final execution. This is sort of experience will be indispensable later in their lives for problem-solving skills.
The Tim Brauch Foundation is dynamic in that they are are always looking for avenues to embrace a greater portion of the community. They have their "Send A Kid To Woodward Camp" program, tried and true. While newer is their exciting "Interactive Art Connection" program, which reaches out to children in Bay Area hospitals through art. Program leader Scott Greathouse is an accomplished artist in his own right and retains that shining personality, reminiscent of Tim Brauch himself.

Lets see, where do I start ? I was at the very first TMB contest in a parking lot, WOW how this contest has taken on a life of its own! This has grown to a world class event because of the board and Jr board members. This is the only contest I know of that with the help of its board members, raise money to put kids through the best skate camp around.

How awesome is that !!!!

The Tim Brauch Foundation is such a blessing to the sports industry! My two son's have both received scholarships for Woodward West skateboard camp from the Time Brauch Foundation and we are so incredibly thankful! What this foundation does for kids is amazing! They truly care and are in it wholeheartedly for the kids and the sport. That is why they are so successful and I would highly recommend them for award and donation!

I was blessed to know Tim Brauch and I love supporting the Tim Brauch Foundation in his honor. They put on super awesome skate contests, send youth to Woodward West skate camp, they have a junior board to mentor youth and teach them business skills, and they also sponsor an art program that goes into hospitals and under funded schools to teach art. This is a wonderful non profit!!!

What an awesome event with equally awesome people! This was our first year to participate and also the first experience for the boys to watch PRO Skaters and even a few Legends up close and personal!

The Tim brauch foundation is so rad!! Sending kids to skate camp that wouldn't be able to go otherwise is absolutely amazing!! I can only imagine the stoke they create. Making kids feel included is a huge service, I commend their efforts 100%!!!

My experience with the Tim Brauch Foundation has been a great experience on many levels. Working together with other board members and volunteers toward a common goal of getting kids to Woodward West, we plan and collaborate all year and then run two contests in two different cities. We have an amazing group of board members, honorary board members, and volunteers. I'm really proud of all our efforts and the fact that we are able to ultimately send kids to an awesome camp AND we have increased that number every year. Its also a great feeling to volunteer, give back to the community, and be a part of our exciting events. Tim Brauch Foundation is pretty amazing!

What i like about the foundation is that we, as a group, get to put togeter both a street contest and a pro bowl contest that has pro skaters such as Steve Cabillero. I have been participating with this contest since i was three years old, and watching how it has progressed is insane. Being a Junior Board member is awesome because I get to help decide and help make descisions that shape the contest. Another awesome thing about the Tim Brauch Foundation is that we send kids to WoodWard. THE TIM BRAUCH FOUNDATION ROCKS!

The Tim Brauch Foundation is a fantastic non-profit that promotes physical activity through skateboarding. As I have been skateboarding since I was eight, I appreciate the positivity that this organization has created throughout both the sport and the surrounding cities. The contests and scholarships have shown the true compassion and commitment that skateboarders have.

This foundation has been around for along time and the Jr member have been killing it. They do so much to help kids go to skate camp at woodward west. Most of the kids would never be able to go to a camp like this. This is also the longest running bowl contest around and it's only going to get better as the youth keeps it going! Tim's spirit lives!!! Being a board member and part of this contest for the 4 years have been RAD!

This is the non-profit to know about! Sending kids to Woodward is a game changer where they learn about respect, independence and life long friendships in addition to skills. Volunteers get to work with great staff and be a part of an awesome event that include professional skateboarding world wide.

Volunteering with Tim Brauch was a great experience. The contest was super fun and it was awesome to watch everyone skating and having a great time. Everyone on the board was super helpful and nice and I'd love to help out again.

I was chosen to replace a previous youth board member who was leaving for college. I was brought in and although I felt nervous at first Everyone on the board was kind and welcoming making me immediately feel at home. I have now been on the board for a couple months and my experience has done nothing but improve since.

I first heard about the Tim Brauch Foundation from my friends involved in the contest. Upon learning more about the foundation and its purpose, I became interested in becoming a junior board member. I believe that the Tim Brauch Foundation is a great and rare contest to help kids who normally wouldn't be able to afford Woodward to attend the camp.

Volunteering with the Tim Brauch Memorial Foundation was such an enriching experience. Everyone who volunteers and is a part of the foundation is awesome and being able to be a part of a group like this is such an amazing opportunity.

Growing up in the Bay Area, I had heard about the event before but had never been able to go.This year was my first year attending and volunteering at the Tim Brauch contest at Lake Cunningham, and I had a great time.

The event was well run and planned, and it was awesome seeing so many skaters of all ages attending.

Definitely an organization I'd support, and I hope to be able to help again at future events!

I was a runner for Dave Duncan (the voice of skateboarding). It was cool to hear him announce my name over the mic and then bring the judges and pro's drinks. Overall the judges and skateboarders were really friendly and easy to work with. The contest was great. So great that I'm volunteering for the street contest.

We (Consolidated Skateboards) had a booth a the last Tim Brauch Memorial Skate Contest, and I have to say, it was one of the most fun, feel good, events I had attended! We had such a great time and Cindi did such a great job in making sure everything went seamlessly....there were no blips of which I was aware of.
I hardly ever write reviews on anything, but I just had to with this, because everything was so great about it. I can't say it enough about what a great event this is, so we'll just leave it at that!

The Tim Brauch Foundation Bowl Contest was a great event. Overall positive atmosphere with everyone supporting each other. I was on the grill. People seemed to enjoy everything from the food to the camaraderie all in the spirit of Tim Brauch. A FUN EVENT!!!

I've had the pleasure of recently joining the board for the Tim Brauch Foundation. I've been so impressed by the dedication of all the members at not only keeping the memory of Tim Brauch alive, but also for the impact the foundation makes in the community. The junior board members are instrumental in the success of the foundation. They donate their talents and time and pull off the most amazing skateboard contests every year. Many skateboarders who participated in past contests have gone on to sponsorship or professional careers. Their impact is far reaching and the foundation is also creating future leaders.

I've been lucky enough to be part of this organization for 4 years now and this year was by far the best year yet! It's always a pleasure and honor to represent this contest. People don't understand how hard everyone works on this event all year long to make it happen! Now the bar has been raised for next year! I wanna thank Cindi and Karen personally for all those two ladies do! The street contest is coming up so come and and support this great event and cause! Sending kids to Woodward skate camp is so awesome and "Beans" aka (Tim Brauch) is super stoked on everything done in his name and spirit!

Another incredible event in the books in San Jose, which just gets better and better each year. Being one of the lucky one's to hover over a BBQ for most of the day, I have the reward of feeding hungry skaters and attendees... creating big smiles. One word for the entire event? Family. The volunteer crew that Cindi has put together is amazing, all for a great cause, in honor of Tim Brauch. Looking forward to the Scotts Valley event at the end of the month (8/30) - come in for some killer street tacos and dogs! ~AC

The people who organize and volunteer for this foundation are inspiring and incredibly dedicated. They honor the spirit of Tim Brauch by helping others become better human beings. I imagine he has been very stoked since this thing started 15 years ago.

I have volunteered the past three years and attended longer than that. This place is about giving back...about funneling as much as possible into helping kids hone their life skills at a skate camp or contest… and to discover their passion and be given the opportunity to run with it. That is priceless for anyone, especially a kid.

The people here are fun to be around. No attitude or exclusivity, this place rocks across the board. They are totally professional, in addition, which was such a plus. You feel like things are being managed, but you don't feel like someone is telling you what to do. They are just happy to see you and they make volunteering there a blast!

Thank you for giving ME the opportunity to be helpful!

This foundation makes dreams come true, and I know because they did it for me. I try to get straight A's in school and this year I am a freshmen @ Big Bear High School. I was able to go to camp at the best skate camp probally in the world because of TIM BRAUCH FOUNDATION. I cannot say enough what a great week it was and long live TIM BRAUCH FOUNDATION.

As a Junior Board Member we participate all year long in spreading the word out young skaters to enter the skate competition and to apply for a scholar ship. Its awesome to be a board member because each year we make the foundation better and better, also we get to meet the top skaters. Being apart of this fund is so much fun because every year its a blast to set up and get the peoples attention. plus Cindi Busenhart is the BEST for making all this happen!

I had the honor of volunteering at the Tim Brauch Memorial Fund Skate Contest for the sixth year in the row. However I have been going to this contest since i was born. Each year it has gotten increasingly better wether it was food, sponsors, the raffle or even the Tim Brauch T-shirts. This year there was an extreme amount of new ideas that truly brought the contest to a new level. Thanks to the Tim Brauch Junior Board. There was a new Tim Brauch Logo, Red Bull Truck, Red Bull Tent, 10 autograph skate desks for the raffle and much more. On top of what the Junior Board brought to the table what the competitors brought this year was better than ever. Overall the contest was a complete and utter success and I was so happy to be a part of something so amazing.

The tim Brauch memorial fund is awesome, they always help bring the comunity together

This orginization brings all ages of the skatebording community togeter .I am very greatful for the commitment this orginization has .

I had a great time at The Tim Brauch Memorial Skate Contest. It was really cool to see everybody taking part in this event, whether it was the people giving donations, buying raffle tickets or even skating! All the people who I talked to were very nice and appreciated what we were doing. And I also saw that everybody that I was working with looked like they were having a lot of fun!

For about two years I have been on the junior board of the Tim Brauch memorial fund. My time as a volunteer is spent looking over graphic design for T-shirts and posters, looking over past events and seeing what Tim Brauch memorial fund has done well and things that we can improve on. It is always a great learning experience volunteering on the junior board and I have learned very much, an example of this is customer service. Learning how to always be respectful to customers and fellow work mates. I have brought this trait into my home life weather it is with my parents, teachers, or friends. This has been one of the best work experiences I have ever had.

I have volunteered my time with the Tim Brauch Foundation creating their graphics for their events. It has been 4 years that I have done artwork for them and it has been well worth it. They are a great foundation helping youth in a positive and healthy environment. I will gladly volunteer my time anytime when they need me.

I've been a Junior Board member for about two years, and my experiences volunteering have always been great everyone is super helpful and nice. This year ran even more smoothly than the last, and I hope it continues to be that way.

I have volunteered for the Tim Brauch Memorial Skateboard Contest for a few years, and have found it not only to be fun, but professionally managed. I've enjoyed volunteering so much that I have recently accepted an opprutinity to join the junior board. Everyone on the board is very passionate and are doing great things for the non-profit. The skateboard contest is great because it not only creates an amazing community but it also helps the local youth achieve their goals with skateboarding. It is very open to volunteers, so i would definitely recommend it.

I volunteered for the Tim Brauch Memorial Skateboard Contest last year and loved it! It was such a fun event put on by great community leaders. As a volunteer I got a free T-shirt as well as pair of Vans shoes. The raffles had tons of product from all different companies which showed the support it receives from the skateboard community. I highly recommend either volunteering, donating, or attending the annual skateboard contests they hold. The Tim Brauch not only supports local youth by paying for the skatebaord camps and creating skateparks they provide a space within their contests to allow the children to show their community the skill they have acquired through hard work. It was so much fun watching everyone from the pros to the small kids. I really felt while volunteering that I was helping and engaging with the community.
