IRVINE, Calif., May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Miracles for Kids announces its brand partnership with Boardriders, with a successful kick-off employee incentive event that was held in Huntington Beach, Wednesday May 25, 2022. Miracles for Kidsempowers people to “be the miracle” for families struggling to win the battle against a child’s life-threatening illness.

The Boardriders Foundation – the global brand’s charitable arm – launched its partnership with a generous $50K grant to Miracles for Kids. This donation and its impact were then doubled to reach $100K, thanks to a matching challenge through the Stars & Stripes Children’s Foundation. Boardriders also supports the Miracles mission with product donations from its brands throughout the year, along with support to the Miracles for Kids annual “Surf & Paddle” summer wellness camps.
“Boardriders and Miracles for Kids have worked together for some time now on the ‘Surf & Paddle’ camps, providing kids with much-needed water therapy,” says Ajai Datta, Vice President of NA Boardriders Retail. “It is inspiring to witness first-hand what Miracles for Kids gives to the families they support. We’re happy to further solidify our partnership, helping where we can.”
In addition to donations of apparel, footwear, and accessories, Boardriders staff members join in on volunteer opportunities. Throughout the year, Miracles for Kids sends a collection of essential items to over 300 families, offering support while reminding them they are not alone. This month, the Boardriders team will help to assemble items during the upcoming Sunshine Box of Miracles event.
“We are thrilled to partner with Boardriders as a locally-based brand built on supporting dreamers in action sports,” shares Miracles for Kids Co-Founder/CEO Autumn Strier. “Their mission to inspire outdoor fun aligns with our goal to bring struggling families hope and joy.”
