Tim Brauch Foundation

Tim Brauch Memorial Fund
Non Profit 501-C3 The Tim Brauch Memorial Fund provides outreach programs in action sports.

Each of these programs offers a value-based leadership curriculum that enhances the participants experience by promoting self-respect, meeting challenges with perseverance, independence, creativity and integrity, all while participating in an outdoor sport camp environment and therefore supporting an active lifestyle. There are two annual skateboard contests that serve as the primary fundraisers t

o support the Foundation. These contests include Northern California’s largest professional bowl contest and an amateur street/park contest. The Tim Brauch Professional Bowl Contest draws in hundreds of spectators and showcases the world’s top professional skateboarders. It also allows the opportunity for up and coming amateurs to showcase their talents, by allowing top ams to participate along with the pro’s in the main event. Our amateur Street Contest serves as a springboard for up and coming athletes. Past winners have included now top professional skaters Emmanuel Guzman, Raven Tershy, and Nyjah Huston.
