Best Day Foundation is a volunteer organization that helps children with special needs build confidence and self-esteem through safe, fun, adventure activities like surfing, bodyboarding, kayaking, snow sports, and more. Founded in 2008, the organization serves over 1,000 children a year with chapters in New Jersey, Orange County, CA, Santa Barbara, CA, and Ventura, CA with thousands of community volunteers.

Natalie Gray, parent of a child attending the event said, “This event was more than surf therapy for my son, it was life changing!! And I am forever grateful to everyone who worked so hard to help all the kiddos!!”

They achieve this by empowering communities across the country to offer special days at the beach and snow to children with special needs. Best Day provides back-end services, support, training, and business resources to ensure that safe, self-sufficient programs are created. The program is funded through donations, grants and sponsorships. Please join them in creating special days for other children with Autism, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, blindness, cancer, spinal cord injuries, and other physical and developmental challenges.
