Sometimes called AWOW, this nonprofit uses the transformative power of the ocean to grant disabled youth a day of acceptance and empowerment. Everyone is an athlete – able to enjoy the beach and gain some skills on a surfboard.
Providing surfing instruction to children with needs from down’s syndrome to blindness, the surf therapy experience is both calming and electrifying. Many kids, for the first time, get to “walk on water” and gain a level of confidence that has a crossover effect. More than 2,000 adults and children with needs have been aided by AWOW since it began its work in 2012.
When you donate a vehicle to A Walk on Water-Surf Therapy through Cars2Charities, you play a part in the lives of entire families. The nonprofit’s surf therapy is more than just standing on a board. The whole family is treated to a day of food and drinks, music, yoga and live music.
Building family bonds while also finding a new home for a vehicle you don’t need is a double benefit. Whether you’re a surfer or not, you can see that talented volunteers who work with the kids are sharing the best parts of the surf culture – challenging themselves physically, but with a carefree attitude.
When you donate a car to charity you share your resources with worthy individuals. And a vehicle donation to A Walk on Water-Surf Therapy sends support specifically to people who can use a day off.
Whatever your reason for donating a car, we make it so easy. Simply tell us a few key details, or call to speak with a knowledgeable and friendly Coordinator. We can be reached 7 days a week, at 855-520-2100.
