Rooftop Pool Party & Fundraiser

On Aug 30, 2010, WAVES for Development will be hosting a Rooftop Pool Party & Fundraiser, in New York City. WAVES was created to link passion with purpose; it aims to bridge the educational and economic gap between wealthy surfers and members of rural coastal communities, especially youth. In the past year, our staff and volunteers have helped over 200 residents in Lobitos, Peru, and the surrounding area. We hope to reach many more this year, and we need your help! We’re raising funds to purchase a passenger van, so we can provide safe, reliable transportation for the youth in our educational programs, and so that we can expand our reach to the neighboring towns.
