We have formed this organization in order to assist existing
organizations that conduct programs of benefit
to the worldwide community, in the spirit of the late Jay Moriarity.
We wish to support our youth by sponsoring and supporting outdoor-based
activities that improve their self-esteem and their physical and
mental well-being.
Additionally, we will offer financial assistance
and/or volunteer help with these and similar programs: Junior
Lifeguards of Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County Fire Departments,
Christian Surfers Association, Harbor-to-Hook, local municipal
skateboard parks, etc.
Our activities will be spear-headed by MS.
KIM MORIARITY, widow of the late Jay Moriarity, who died recently,
unexpectedly, and at a very young age. Jay was a source of great
inspiration to our local community and young people because of
his contribution to youth-oriented outdoor activities. His passing
caused a great out -pouring of support for Kim to carry on his
legacy, and thus the founding of this organization.
KIM MORIARITY, our President and founder,
has actively volunteered in many nonprofit
organizations for years, especially those dedicated to the well-being
of young people. She has volunteered as a high school surfing
team coach for five years, and is also involved in a variety of
community events, fundraising activities, and efforts to preserve
the Santa Cruz, California, community and coastline.
