Valpo Surf Project 2017 YEAR END REPORT AccesSurf Hawai'i 2017 SIMA HUMANITARIAN FUND YEAR END REPORT Organization: AccesSurf Hawai'i Contact Person: Cara Short Title: Executive Director Purpose of Grant: AccesSurf has a simple goal to provide beach and ocean access programs for people with disabilities. The main structure of these programs provide the physical support on land and in the water, with accessible equipment and trained volunteers, for people who do not have regular access to experience the healing power of the ocean and surfing. Over the past 11 years with the expansion of programs, clinics and special events AccesSurf has become much more than a platform for people with disabilities to heal and gain strength through surfing; it has also created an accepting and inclusive community that brings awareness for people with disabilities throughout society. Through surveys and focus groups we have learned the depth of the impact of our programs. Participants share how their lives have been dramatically changed through AccesSurf because; they have gained personal strength and confidence which empowers them in all aspects of their lives, they have created friendships and relationships that stretch outside of AccesSurf programs and many have become mentors to others who are either newly injured or being introduced to adaptive (modified) surfing for the first time. Feedback that we receive reflects that many people and families who attend our programs are not regularly included in mainstream activities and social gatherings and AccesSurf has had an extraordinary effect on their lives because we focus on inclusion, empowerment and creating community. In 2017 AccesSurf provided 44 program days and special events plus support, competitions and training for our adaptive surf team through out year. Serving 1,272 registered participant numbers made possible by over 3000 volunteer registrations. Briefly describe the specific purpose and goal for your 2017 SIMA Humanitarian Fund grant. The request for this grant is for support to purchase a much needed equipment van. The fleet of necessary accessible equipment has grown as we keep up with the demand. The equipment and supplies are vital to our programs and without a permanent location we need transport to every event. We are in great need of a reliable vehicle. Expected results will be for AccesSurf to be able transport equipment to continue to provide current programs and events. To what degree were these goals and objectives achieved? If not fully met, what factors affected the success of the project? We were able to obtain funding for our equipment vehicle from multiple sources including this grant from SIMA. The equipment vehicle was outfitted with shelving and storage by our volunteers and a local wave muralist, Hilton Alves, will be donating a mural for the outside of the vehicle. With these additions and the increased space of the newly purchased equipment vehicle our equipment transportation needs with our current program size have been achieved. What has been the measurable impact of your 2017 SIMA Humanitarian Fund grant on the population or area you serve? Having the ability to properly transport and store our equipment necessary for our equipment is what makes our programs possible. Our programs in 2018 served 1773 participants. What have been the measurable results to date of this grant on the functioning or effectiveness of your organization? (i.e. enhanced operations, increased capacity, etc.) AccesSurf experienced a 30% participant increase in 2018 throughout all programs and clinics. Being able to increase programs in is a direct result from several advancements including an improved system for equipment storage and transportation with the newly purchased equipment vehicle which this grant contributed to. 2017 YEAR END REPORT Amazing Surf Adventures 2017 SIMA HUMANITARIAN FUND YEAR END REPORT Organization: Amazing Surf Adventures Contact Person: Amanda Curaza Title: Executive Director Purpose of Grant: To support Amazing Surf Adventures program, Operation Surf. Operation Surf is a weeklong program that offers a week of adaptive surfing and healing for wounded military men and women. Participants are paired with professional surf instructors and develop a goal-based curriculum around their unique abilities. Operation Surf offers an environment of camaraderie and healing to its participants by giving them a shared experience in the water each day. Briefly describe the specific purpose and goal for your 2017 SIMA Humanitarian Fund grant. Funds were used to help feed, house, transport and provide equipment for our participants of Operation Surf. To what degree were these goals and objectives achieved? If not fully met, what factors affected the success of the project? All the goals were met during Operation Surf. All accommodations and needs of the program were a success. We are constantly working to improve our programs. Looking at efficiency, logistics, budget and staff. Each year we re-evaluate what works well and what we can do to improve. What has been the measurable impact of your 2017 SIMA Humanitarian Fund grant on the population or area you serve? Operation Surf was able to serve over 60 veterans through its week-long program. Our purpose is to change their life, not just their week, aiming to provide them a wellness experience that inspires them to carry wellness throughout all aspects of life as they return home. Below is a testimony from one of our participants and a participant family member. “There’s something about being able to talk to all these guys who have been through PTSD themselves that really helps, and no pun intended, from the first day I surfed, my whole perception and attitude changed and (negative thoughts) washed away.” - Kyle Kelly Operation Surf Participant “With Operation Surf, we finally had a support system, the responsibility of my Veterans overall wellness was no longer on just me, but instead we had a community of Veterans and Operation Surf staff who just simply showed up for him, for us. I can't begin to tell you what that alone did for us.” - Makenzie Rana, military spouse What have been the measurable results to date of this grant on the functioning or effectiveness of your organization? (i.e. enhanced operations, increased capacity, etc.) This SIMA grant has allowed the support for these veterans to experience Operation Surf at no cost to them. With an average of $5,000 to put one participant through, it is critical to the success of the program to have grants like SIMA. 2017 YEAR END REPORT Best Day Foundation, Inc. 2017 SIMA HUMANITARIAN FUND YEAR END REPORT Organization: Best Day Foundation, Inc. Contact Person: Brooks Lambert Title: Executive Director Purpose of Grant: Best Day continues to expand. In 2018 we will have 8 chapters operating serving Southern Florida, Southern Virginia/Northern North Carolina, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Orange county, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura areas in California. Each chapter typically hosts 4 – 8 events, with each event serving between 40 and 45 children and young adults with special needs with the support of approximately 130 volunteers per event. Our growth has also triggered the need for more gear to support our events as outlined in the program budget. Beach wheelchairs have been a key limiting component that has caused us to not accept requests from participants in wheelchairs once the few we have in each area have been allocated. We hope to add 2 more to each of our truck/trailer gear set ups this season. Briefly describe the specific purpose and goal for your 2017 SIMA Humanitarian Fund grant. The gear needed is made up of beach wheelchairs, wetsuits, helmets, pfds, and tents. When we split our gear to support the new vehicle to serve the Southern California chapters we have been hampered with not having proper sized wetsuits, helmets or pfds to serve the kids at each event so we plan to fill out the lacking areas, as well as add 2 beach wheelchairs to each vehicle to better serve our participants in wheelchairs. To what degree were these goals and objectives achieved? If not fully met, what factors affected the success of the project? We purchased 2 beach wheelchairs and 6 pop up tents. We did not purchase more PDFs, helmets, wetsuits etc for 2 reasons, we received a donation from an organization wrapping up operations that filled in our PDF and helmet needs, and we didn't raise enough money to purchase the needed wetsuits. What has been the measurable impact of your 2017 SIMA Humanitarian Fund grant on the population or area you serve? This Year we hosted - 34 Events, after having to cancel 4 due to crazy weather at 15 Venues with 8 Chapters Serving 885 Participants joined us from the 1258 registered With the support of 3065 Volunteers who made it all possible We were very fortunate to be selected as the grand prize winner in the Children's Charity Spotlight Challenge for National Child Awareness Month.We were awarded GuideStar's Gold Seal of Transparency - they are the nation's largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities. We achieved Top Rated Non-profit status with Great Nonprofits again, thanks to all of the amazing reviews you submitted. What have been the measurable results to date of this grant on the functioning or effectiveness of your organization? (i.e.
