Proudly giving a little something back

We¹re always looking for opportunities to help you help others, so each month we will donate 3% of our proceeds to one of the following charities.

A non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world¹s oceans, waves and beaches, Surfrider Foundation has been helping to make the planet healthier since 1984.

In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets.  Boys and Girls Club of America programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971. In nearly 60 countries, MSF provides independent, impartial assistance to those most in need and in 1999, MSF received the Nobel Peace Prize. 

Since its founding in 1881 by visionary leader Clara Barton, the American Red Cross has been the nation's premier emergency response organization. As part of a worldwide movement that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war, the American Red Cross distinguishes itself by also aiding victims of devastating natural disasters.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF AMERICA

In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.

 

Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.

Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow ­ all while having fun. They are truly The Positive Place For Kids, whose national programs have taken members from the Clubhouse to the White House; from the games room to the corporate boardroom; from the high school orchestra to Carnegie Hall.

This lineup of tested and proven nationally recognized programs address today's most pressing youth issues, teaching young people the skills they need to succeed in life.

National programs are available in the areas of education, the environment, health, the arts, careers, alcohol/drug and pregnancy prevention, gang prevention, leadership development and athletics.

AMERICAN RED CROSS

Since its founding in 1881 by visionary leader Clara Barton, the American Red Cross has been the nation's premier emergency response organization. As part of a worldwide movement that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war, the American Red Cross distinguishes itself by also aiding victims of devastating natural disasters. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services, always with the aim of preventing and relieving suffering.

Today, in addition to domestic disaster relief, the American Red Cross offers compassionate services in five other areas: community services that help the needy; support and comfort for military members and their families; the collection, processing and distribution of lifesaving blood and blood products; educational programs that promote health and safety; and international relief and development programs.

The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors‹across the street, across the country, and across the world‹in emergencies. Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to neighbors familiar and new‹the more than half a million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross. Through over 700 locally supported chapters, more than 15 million people gain the skills they need to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their homes, communities and world.
