My Nonprofit Reviews

Operation Surf was on my radar screen a few years back, and volunteering was on my “list of good intentions” when I saw a facebook post from founder Van Curaza more or less screaming in all capital letters that he needed strong paddlers to help with water safety for that year's event. . So my son and I signed up for a couple of shifts, and I came away thinking “That’s a pretty good thing Van has going.” I had no idea. After joining the presenting committee and seeing 2017's event from arrival to awards ceremony, I am blown away by this program’s impact on the veterans we serve. I plan to stay involved for many years to come.
