Life Rolls On Santa Monica (Volunteer Event)

**Hi all,** I wanted to set up a Meetup for an incredible organization we’ve volunteered with before — *Life Rolls On*. They help people with disabilities experience the thrill of surfing, and they'll be hosting an event on **Saturday, June 6 in Santa Monica**. From their website: *“Life Rolls On is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people affected by spinal cord injury and other disabilities.* They host *“epic surf and skate events for wheelchair athletes.”* Website: https://liferollson.org/santamonica Their videos show what they're about https://vimeo.com/109601866 https://vimeo.com/365310680 https://vimeo.com/455304402 Please see their FAQ section for more information: https://liferollson.org/volunteer-faq Online registration closes on Saturday, May 23. If you don’t make registration, **walk-up volunteers are welcome** on the day of the event. One of the event organizers mentioned that **volunteer sign-ups have been low this year**, so any extra hands would be a huge help. *Lunch will be provided for all volunteers.* I’ve volunteered at this event in the past, and it was such an amazing, moving experience — seeing the joy on the surfers’ faces as they catch their first wave is unforgettable. I highly recommend this to anyone who’s interested in giving back and spending a beautiful day at the beach. Hope to see you there!
