OluKai celebrated the conclusion of the 4th annual Punta Sayulita Classic as the Official Giveback Sponsor.

With multiple giveback events throughout the weekend, OluKai fulfilled its goal of inspiring event goers to giveback too.
 
OluKais company wide, hands-on participation included participating in the Punta Sayulita Classics Friday Foundation Day where it partnered with various organizations including local, ecological and community-oriented private school, Costa Verde International School (CVIS) in educating youth on the plastic recycling process and why its so important. OluKai also collaborated on additional activities including: a surf clinic for special needs and underprivileged children under the supervision of renowned longboard surfer, Jimmy Gamboa and members of his TheraSURF organization; a community-wide beach cleanup managed by former pro surfer James Pribram of the Eco-Warrier Foundation and members from Project Save Our Surf; and a childrens interactive Reef Day art camp with local artist Treva Dea of Sayulita Art Camps. All events were free and open to the public. In addition, OluKai donated shoes and tee-shirts to locals and event participants.
 
The Punta Sayulita Classic is a special event for many reasons but one in particular stands out for us, says Kerry Konrady, OluKais marketing director. There is truly such a massive focus on giveback, and everyone, including the athletes, event organizers and attendees band together to make a difference. We are inspired by the ‘Ohana of the event. 100% sponsorship dollars went to area Reef Check and to l the Punta Sayulita Foundations children development programs.
