The San Diego Surf Film Festival (SDSFF) 2014 will give local scholastic surf teams a financial boost as well as a chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes via a countywide raffle. The annual SDSFF (http://www.sandiegosurffilmfestival.com/), which will be held May 7-10, 2014 at Bird’s Surf Shed, has contributed profits from previous raffles to several national non-profit organizations.
“This year we wanted to provide support for scholastic surfing throughout San Diego County,” said SDSFF co-creator and director Pierce Kavanagh. “Surf teams and clubs offer great guidance at a challenging time in a kid’s life, and we are proud to be able to help out in any way we can.”
The deadline for surf teams to sign up is Feb. 1. Raffle tickets will be distributed to surf team coaches by Feb. 26. Raffle tickets will be sold by participating student surf teams between March 1 and April 21, 2014, with the grand prizes chosen May 10 at the SDSFF film awards ceremony. These raffle tickets can be sold to anybody, anywhere and the winner need not be present to win.
