The group does 100% fundraisers for worthwhile programs such as disaster relief and recovery efforts, beach clean up supplies, and shoreline access point maintenance. Thousands of dollars have been raised and donated to such organizations as the American Red Cross, the Narrow River Preservation Association, The Ocean Recovery Community Alliance, the URI Coastal Society, the Surfriders Foundation, and others.
