Second Annual Holiday Surfboard Auction
November 22 through December 31, 2009
More than a dozen unique surfboards will be on display in the lobby at as part of the resort’s Second Annual Holiday Surfboard Auction to benefit Surfers Healing. The boards will be on display from Sunday, November 22 through December 31 with the bidding closing at noon on December 31, 2009 and available to take home on January 2, 2009. Surfboards for auction include boards signed by surf legends Kelly Slater, Laird Hamilton, Garrett McNamarra, and celebrities such as Benjamin Bratt and Robert Hays. The Holiday Surfboard Auction is part of the resort's Community Footprints program. Community Footprints was created to encourage leadership in volunteers, fundraising, product donations and mentoring programs at a local level. No project is considered too large or too small. Dedicated Ritz-Carlton Ladies and Gentlemen provide a wide range of support and services to their community, including fund-raising for local charities, reading to the blind, preparing and serving lunches at homeless shelters, donating books to schools and volunteering at food banks. The Ritz-Carlton Community Footprints stresses that the most important resource is not always money, but time. Proceeds from the Holiday Surfboard Auction benefit Surfers Healing, which was founded by Israel and Danielle Paskowitz. Their son, Isaiah, was diagnosed with autism at age three. Like many autistic children, he often suffered from sensory overload-- simple sensations could overwhelm him. The ocean was the one place where he seemed to find respite. A former competitive surfer, Israel hit upon an idea--with Isaiah on the front of his surfboard, and Izzy steering from the back, the two spent the day surfing together. Surfing had a profound impact on Isaiah. Israel and Danielle decided they wanted to share this unique therapy with other autistic children. They began to host day camps at the beach where autistic children and their families could be exposed to a completely new experience of surfing.
