We Tried It!
We Tried Surfing to Save Lives
MasterCraft Boat Company's philanthropic campaign benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, is now in its third year and gave our team the chance to wake surf!
The campaign started May 23 and runs through September 30. All boaters are invited to log their tow-time on the water through the MasterCraft Connect app — whether wakeboarding, surfing, tubing, or skiing - with each minute contributing to a $1 donation to St. Jude by MasterCraft (up to $75,000). It's open to all boaters — not just MasterCraft owners — and is designed to unite the boating community in a shared mission to bring hope to families facing childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
During our on-water experience we met up with local MasterCraft dealership, Wolf Watersports, and their team members Duffy and Andrew, who helped make our writer Tara's first wake surf experience one to remember.
"The team at Wolf Watersports were so much fun to hang outwith. This was my first time trying to wake surf and theywere so patient teaching me how to surf. Although Itell quite a bit, 1 eventually got up and was all smiles. I am looking forward to fine tuning my skills and logging my hours this summerthrough the MasterCraft Connect app!" mentions Tara.
With a mission to unite the watersports community by turning their time on the water this summer into a good cause, campaign spokesperson Alexa Score shares, "At their core, boating and water sports are about bringing people together to create lifelong memories, and that is the essence of Surf to Save Lives. This campaign is intended for all boaters and water sports enthusiasts to unite around the activities we love for a great cause."
As a childhood cancer survivor and former pro wakeboarder, Alexa Score says what she loves most about this campaign, "During my darkest moments battling childhood blood cancer, I would dream about living long enough to spend one more summer on the water with family and friends. Thanks to expert care and modern medicine, l've been to create countless memories on the water and through MasterCraft, l've been able to share my passion for watersports with thousands of people. Combining my love for watersports with the life saving mission of St. Jude is truly a dream come true."
With Lake Havasu being the mecca for water sports, the Surf to Save Lives campaign is a great way to bring families together while boating for a good cause.
