Sponsor the 5th Annual South Bay Legends

Sunday, September 27 · El Porto, 42nd Street, Manhattan Beach

Every year we put on a surf contest that's free to enter. Sponsors are the reason it stays that way.

Where the money goes

We're a 501(c)(3), and what we raise pays for treatment for people who can't afford it — veterans, people fighting addiction and alcoholism, and people living with brain and emotional trauma.

Not a general fund. Treatment, for people in this community.

We do this because we lost friends who couldn't get help in time. That's the whole reason the event exists, and at noon on the 27th we paddle out and say their names.

What your sponsorship reaches

  • 150+ surfers, families and spectators on the sand across the day, from 8am until we clear out.
  • [X] followers across Instagram and Facebook who follow the run-up for six weeks before the event.
  • Year-round placement on this page, which stays up long after the contest ends.

We're not selling you a stadium. We're the South Bay surf community — high school teams, families who've been coming for five years, and local businesses who keep showing up. People here remember who stood with them.

Donating an item instead?

Our silent auction is how we raise most of what we raise. Boards, gear, wetsuits, gift cards, services, or something for a gift basket — all of it helps, and all of it is tax-deductible.

Email sam@southbaylegends.com and we'll come pick it up.

Tax Information

South Bay Legends is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. EIN 42-4054501. We'll send you a written acknowledgment after the event. Because sponsorship includes advertising benefits, the deductible portion is limited to the amount above the fair market value of what you receive — your letter will state both figures. Please consult your tax advisor about your situation.
