$500K. We just hit half a million dollars for Make A Wave today. 🎉 ⁠

That's clean water, maternal health support, and improved nutrition reaching the resilient families we work alongside in remote Indonesian communities. It's proof that a month of surfing with purpose can change lives. To every surfer, sponsor, and donor who has shown up strong at the start of September, thank you for making waves that truly matter.⁠

Thank you for turning a challenge into real, lasting impact. We couldn't do this without you. Let's keep it up! 🙏 ⁠ https://makeawave.co/
