The Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project and Surfrider Foundation have an easy way you can help do your part. To raise awareness about major Surfrider Foundation environmental campaigns in celebration of Surfrider’s 25th anniversary, Barefoot wine is donating $25,000 to directly help support local Surfrider Foundation Chapters and their efforts to protect America’s shores. Beginning May 1, 2009 through August 15, 2009, Barefoot and Surfrider are encouraging everyone to learn more and cast their vote for one of four Surfrider Foundation campaigns in need of more awareness and financial support.

The four selected campaigns will each receive a minimum of $5,000. The campaign that receives the most online votes will take home an additional $5,000 to help put toward the cause.

Chadd Konig and Nole Cossart are following their hearts on a coastal paddle board odyssey from Gaviota to the Mexican border to raise awareness for NAPLES on the Gaviota Coast. They know this is a pristine part of California that could be ruined forever by planned development. Through the paddle they hope to share their passion for unspoiled space and spread the word about the importance of preserving what is left of our natural coastline.

Follow their journey by visiting www.savenaples.org where you can donate, learn more, share your thoughts and be part of the adventure.
