HUNTINGTON BEACH LONGBOARD CREW
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Epilepsy Awareness is a problem worldwide. 65 million people have this seizure disorder and need help understanding what it is and how to deal with its many issues. There are stigmas associated with seizures and epilepsy that prevent people from talking openly. There are many new treatments, cures and therapies that need to be explained to sufferers so they can be helped.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Surf Team
Our surf team competes against over twenty other teams from up and down the California coast. The team consists of shortboard, Longboard, SUP, tandem and paddle races to determine individual and team awards. Events are charity fundraisers with an emphasis on family fun.
Epilepsy Awareness
During the 2018 and 2019 fiscal year the HBLC is focused on Epilepsy Awareness as the primary charitable cause for the organization. Partnering with other charities we will support the efforts to raise awareness and give support through locally related charities.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our organization plans to promote awareness through social media and monthly meet-ups. A number of fundraising activities are planned for the fiscal year.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
There are existing organizations that focus on this and we will partner with them when we can. Learning what their needs are is the first step. Attending Epilepsy Awareness Day at the Disneyland Resort will accomplish this step. From this launching point we plan to hold events to raise awareness and funds throughout our fiscal year.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our organization has communication skills and the membership numbers to reach out to a great number of supporters in order to accomplish these goals. Partnering with local organizations like Chick-Fil-A and the International Surfing Museum will allow us to hold several Epilepsy Awareness events across Orange County. We intend to bring the message up and down the coast to the other surf clubs. The reach of these organization goes from Santa Cruz to San Diego.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The organization has a long track record of contributing annually to many different charitable causes and organizations. Our fiscal year started in September and so far we have had one fundraiser during the Surf City 10 in October where we received a donation of $250 for our causes.
