Throwdown Surf Classic raised an incredible $35,000 for the Outer Banks Relief Foundation! 💙

Over the years, Throwdown has contributed more than $464,865 to help local families facing unexpected tragedy.

That generosity has helped families through all kinds of difficult circumstances, keeping homes secure, lights on, and essential household bills paid when the unexpected turns life upside down.

Throwdown is such a special day for kids and families, made possible by a whole lot of hard work and heart!

We are deeply grateful to the Throwdown organizers, sponsors, surfers, volunteers, and everyone who makes this event possible year after year.

This is neighbors helping neighbors, and we are fortunate to be part of a community that cares so deeply for one another. 💙
