Sponsors and volunteers are needed!

Playa Hermosa is preparing for the upcoming annual Soulstice Surf Expression Session to be held Saturday, June 21st: a charity surf contest organized by local residents and held in Playa Hermosa every June in front of Cabinas Las Olas.

Participants cut loose in an informal "expression session" atmosphere and compete for prizes donated by local Costa Rica businesses. A raffle is held as well as an art fair and board sale.

Sponsorship of this Costa Rica event is welcome in the form of cash donations and/or paying entry fees for surf competitors. This year the proceeds will be used to build a new recycling center, promote the blue flag (Bandera Azul) efforts for Playa Hermosa, and go to help make improvements to the local elementary school Escuela Pochotal.

Other activities proceeding the contest will be a beach cleanup and volunteer trip to raise awareness of beach recovery by visiting and collecting trash at the heavily polluted Playa Guacalillo on Friday June 20th For more information about how to be a sponsor on the event, volunteer during the event or sign up for the event please contact Cabinas Las Olas: 2643-7021; lasolascr@hotmail.com; The Central Pacific Chamber of Commerce 2-643-2853; christinatruitt@gmail.com
