5th Annual Chukkers for CHarity

---

 Surf & Turf Therapy and Hot Ticket Racing are proud to present our 5th Annual Chukkers for Charity event at the Orange County Polo Club. Join us for an evening of chukkers, chow, and cheer! All funds raised will directly support Surf & Turf Therapy programs and financial aid for those in need. Last year we were able to raise a record breaking $126,000 at this event - which is nearly one quarter of our expenses for an entire year to continue bettering lives through nontraditional therapeutic activities!

  Thank you for your incredible support at our second annual pickleball tournament. Your participation, presence, and enthusiasm truly made the event a tremendous success. We are thrilled to announce that we raised nearly $3,500 to better lives through nontraditional therapeutic activities! 

A special thank you to Heather Alkon, committee member and volunteer, for leading this event, as well of all the volunteers who supported in planning and executing the event. Thank you to the city of San Juan Capistrano who was amazing to work with helping to bring this event local, which was a huge contributor to the success of the day. 

The day featured pickleball, tacos, and a whole lot of fun, with the beautiful city of San Juan as the backdrop! Rider Everett tried out pickleball for the first time and his mom Sara shared his story, reminding the crowd of the real reason we were all there.

 Birthday girls on Team Nelson came home with 1stplace and the Shoopman Family were awarded best dressed for their St. Paddy’s Day attire. Goody bags were provided by sponsors The Printers Circle and Newport Beach Dermatology (check out their beautiful new location in SJC!) and raffle items featured pickleball lessons, a Maverix paddle package, Geometry Towels, healthy snacks from Nektar and more!
