Ohana Rising

Urban Surf 4 Kids’ annual benefit gala celebrates the transformative power of mentorship and surf therapy for foster and at-risk youth.

The evening features dinner, a hosted bar, and a silent auction, with all proceeds supporting programs that build confidence, resilience, and belonging through ocean experiences. Funds raised will directly support US4K programs, including surf therapy camps, mentorship initiatives, and the Dreaming of Aloha Life Skills Achievement Program, which rewards deserving foster youth with life-changing surf adventures in Hawaii. “Our mission is about so much more than surfing,” says Craig Jenkins, Executive Director of Urban Surf 4 Kids. “We’re providing access to therapy and healing in a way that resonates with youth — meeting them where they are, in the ocean. Ohana Rising celebrates the courage and hope these kids embody every day.”
