We would like to thank Surf For All for providing an amazing surfing experience to a group of teens from The Felix Organization. All of the young people that participated are in the foster care system and wouldn’t otherwise have a chance to have such a memorable and even life-changing opportunity.

Marcos first time surfing, ever!

Most importantly, the kids loved it and were so good! They overcame their fears — it was intimidating to see the huge space and big waves, but they went for it! As one of our participants Marcos shared, “I didn’t think I would be able to do it, but it felt so good to try something new- and succeed! It was definitely worth getting up so early in the morning!” Jeanine and her team are fantastic and we can’t wait for the next trip! Thank you BIG to the whole team at Surf for All and Skudin Surf. Hang ten and see you soon!! Love from all of us at The Felix Organization

More About the Felix Organization.

The Felix Organization was founded in 2006 by Rock ’n Roll Hall of Famer, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels and Emmy Award-winning casting director, Sheila Jaffe. Both adopted and grateful to have been “taken home”, they were compelled to use their resources and experience to enrich the lives of children growing up in the foster care system. They had no idea the impact this partnership would have on the lives of so many disadvantaged children.

The Felix Organization provides inspiring opportunities and new experiences to enrich the lives of children who are growing up in the foster care system.
