Surfers Healing
Raised: $500
"On August 15, my mom and I sold lemonade to benefit Surfers Healing. Surfers Healing helps autistic kids, like my older brother, by taking them out into the ocean and teaching them to surf. I wanted to raise money for Surfers Healing because I think the work they do is great and am happy that my brother has the chance to have fun." - Mandy
