The Simple Generosity Foundation

Black Surf Santa Cruz is on a mission to make surfing more inclusive and representative, ensuring African American voices and stories take center stage in the sport. They bring this energy to life by creating a space where African American surfers and ocean lovers can connect, celebrate their heritage, and make waves—literally and figuratively. Their annual Juneteenth event features a powerful Liberation Paddle Out—along with live music, delicious food, fun games, local art, and shared joy—that brings people together to honor the past while riding the tides of progress. It’s all about inclusivity, representation, and keeping the spirit of Juneteenth alive through the love of surfing.

The World Cup kicks off today! The excitement of this global event also reminds us how soccer continues to be a force for good in so many countries worldwide. In the U.S., we’re proud to be working with nonprofits like these: America SCORES and its local affiliates offer free after-school programs that support whole child development through the teamwork of soccer, the self-expression of poetry, and the community of service-learning. Soccer in the Streets breaks down barriers and creates opportunities for youth through soccer by transforming unused spaces into vibrant soccer fields and offering free programming. Go team!!
