🚨🚨Sponsored Spotlight 🚨🚨

Oceans of Hope Foundation cannot thank our sponsors enough for their incredible support. Because of you, we are looking forward to another amazing season filled with opportunities, smiles, and unforgettable moments.

So far this season, we have already hosted a successful adaptive waterski event with Ann’s Angels, along with two incredible kayak events and we’re just getting started!

Your support is a huge part of what makes all of this possible. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue creating life-changing experiences for our guest athletes and their families.

We also want to give a very special thank you to our private donors. Your generosity, kindness, and belief in what we do truly help keep our programs moving forward. Many of the most meaningful moments our guest athletes experience are possible because of your support behind the scenes. Thank you for being such an important part of the Oceans of Hope family.

To Jonny Nomad Media, LLC we also want to give you a special shout out for your countless hours capturing amazing photos. We thank you.

Throwing it back to our early years—when the mission was just getting started, but the drive was already strong. 💪
These photos capture Amanda Balboa receiving the City of Holly Hill Business of the Year (2018) for her philanthropic work throughout Volusia County through the One Business, One Family program, proudly based in Holly Hill.
Nominated by Jenni Craig and supported by Amanda Barlow.
Different year, same driving force—three strong women pushing the goal post forward, every single year.

Every journey has a beginning. 💙
These photos remind us where we started—humble beginnings, big hearts, and a whole lot of hard work. We’re beyond grateful for everyone who believed in us, supported us, and helped us grow into what we are today. This community made it possible. Thank you for being part of our story. One Business, One Family will always have a special place in our hearts.

It’s official… we’re OBSESSED too! 😍
Sheriff Chitwood didn’t just show up to the Fun Coast Foundation Gala — he showed out! 👏

In just 20 minutes, our favorite sheriff helped raise an incredible $12,500 for children and families in need right here in Volusia County! 💙

Between his time, his famous bobbleheads, and those one-of-a-kind Volusia excursions — Sheriff Chitwood set a new Fun Coast record! 🏆

Thank you, Sheriff, for keeping the fun and the fundraising going strong! 🙌
