The Board Meeting

Who we are

The Board Meeting was started by a group of surfers looking to help Sunshine Coast kids with disabilities through a variety of surf-related events.

The Board Meeting Surf Charity was started in 2003 by a group of surfers looking to help Sunshine Coast kids with disabilities through a variety of surf-related events. Run completely by a dedicated group of volunteers and supported by the local business and surfing communities, the charity raises much-needed funds for families who have fallen through the cracks of Government support, are doing it extremely tough financially and have children with needs, those of us with healthy kids could hardly fathom.

To date, The Board Meeting has raised in excess of $7,000,000 and every single dollar has gone to the local families we support. All operating and administration costs are absorbed by our wonderful committee and sponsors. This proves without a doubt that surfers have big hearts when it comes to helping out those in the community.

Whilst we have helped over 1000 kids already, there are always more families we can help.
