Celebrating ‘Women Making Waves' and a successful One Ocean event in Montauk, NY
By Surfrider FoundationOn July 13, the Surfrider Foundation hosted a star-studded, successful One Ocean event in Montauk, New York. Honoring 'Women Making Waves' and Surf Lodge owner, Jayma Cardoso, the One Ocean benefit was the first of two annual bicoastal fundraisers to protect clean water and healthy beaches for the future.
More than 300 guests gathered at the sold-out event in a waterfront setting to raise funds to amplify Surfrider’s work to protect the ocean, waves and beaches. Attendees were invited to bid on specialty items at a silent auction and enjoy a cocktail hour, beautiful set by singer Kate Nauta, gourmet seated dinner, live auction and a lively performance by Wild Belle. Initiative updates were also shared by Surfrider’s CEO, Dr. Chad Nelsen, on the Surfrider network’s scalable impacts in Montauk and across the country. Notable guests included actors Jon Hamm and John Slattery, fashion designer Cynthia Rowley, surfers Kassia Meador and Quincy Davis, actress Sarah Hay, musician Brandon Boyd, artist Tony Caramanico, other leaders from the surf, music and fashion industries.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the prestigious 'Women Making Waves' award, designed by Blakeney Sanford, to Jayma Cardoso for her major role in rallying the local community to protect the coasts. After launching the celebrity-infused Surf Lodge in Montauk more than ten years ago, Jayma spearheaded upgrades that will bring cleaner water to one of New York’s most significant coastal areas. In addition, Jayma has demonstrated her commitment to ocean protection with initiatives to eliminate single-use plastic in the Montauk business community.
