About the event
The Day at the Beach is the P.S. I Love You Foundation’s flagship event—an unforgettable day where under-resourced youth are paired one-on-one with volunteer mentors for a full day of connection, joy, and discovery by the ocean.
For many children, it’s their first time seeing the beach, boogie boarding, or simply spending time with an adult who is fully present and genuinely cares.
🌊 How It Works
👫 Mentor Match-Up Each child is paired with a volunteer for the day—creating a one-on-one bond that fosters trust, kindness, and encouragement.
🏄 Activities & Adventure Together, they’ll enjoy boogie boarding, surf lessons, beach games, relay races, sandcastle building, and shared meals—along with plenty of laughter, high-fives, and hugs.
💬 Moments That Matter Conversations spark confidence. Encouragement builds self-worth. A single day can shift how a child sees themselves—and their future.
