Waves

Raising Awareness through Action Sports

About Me



Waves is a non-profit organization started in 2007 by San Diego locals. Through the realm of action sports, our goal is to raise awareness of issues that go under reported in the American media. The focus of our first event series is to raise awareness of the conditions in Darfur, Sudan. Since we have started this campaign, we have had some amazing people jump on board with us: Skinnie Entertainment magazine, The Wave House, Never Satisfied Productions, Blanket-a-Human, Planet X tv , Our event will feature performances by: Buckfast Superbee, Stranger, Roots Covenant, A.I., Scarlet Symphony, DJ 1979, Trevor Young, Junior the Disco Punk, Dj Kopcho and a live art show by Zoke. Check out our page(myspace.com/wavesfordarfur) and if you like what you see come out and show your support!

My Interests

We would like to thank everyone for coming out the Wave House and showing their support for what we are doing! The Wave House event had some of the best energy and vibes than we have experienced for some time going out in San Diego. We are looking forward to bringing more events to you just like that. Thank you.A portion of the proceeds raised at the event will go to Doctors without Borders, one of the highest rated charities currently in Sudan. Doctors without Borders is an independent international medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural or man-made disasters, or exclusion from health care in more than 70 countries. The money donated at the event will go specifically to the aid in Darfur.** Check them out at www.DoctorsWithoutBorders.com **
