Join us for our 24th Annual Day at the Beach

​

One day. One child.

One connection that

could change everything.

Imagine this:

A bus pulls up to the edge of the sand. Dozens of wide-eyed kids step out—some have never seen the ocean before. Their shoes sink into warm sand as the scent of saltwater fills the air. There’s nervous energy, laughter, curiosity… and then—smiles.

Each child is paired with a mentor for the day—a volunteer who shows up with open arms, sunscreen in hand, and a heart ready to listen.

Together, they paddle out into the surf. Build sandcastles. Race in relays. Learn to boogie board. Talk about dreams. Eat lunch side-by-side. Share stories that no textbook could ever teach. And in the space of a few hours, something powerful happens:

✨ A child feels seen.
✨ A mentor feels needed.
✨ Both walk away changed.

For many of these children—who may come from single-parent households, shelters, or foster care—this is more than just a beach day. It’s a spark of connection. A reminder that someone cares. A memory that becomes an anchor of hope.

And for our mentors? It’s often the most meaningful day of the year.
