Greetings!

We are excited to announce our first community and City approved project for the year. The outdoor basketball court, next to the beach volleyball courts, at South Mission Beach needs new backboard supports and rims. We will be working with Match Point and the City of San Diego and raising additional funds over the next two months to complete the project. Total money needed is $3700. All donations are tax deductible and if you do a membership there are lots of great perks. Become a member / Donate Here

We presented San Diego BIG to several non profits in the area and we are excited to welcome our new liaisons for the following groups: Mission Bay Town Council (Greg Peterson), Mission Beach Town Council (Dawn Knight), Surfrider Foundation (Chris Lydick), I Love a Clean San Diego (Vance Sharp) and Ocean Beach Town Council (Kristen Blackmore). We really appreciate this support and look forward to working on some beach projects together.
