<div>CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? THIS IS OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY!
</div>
<div>This summer marks 10 years of the World Dog Surfing Championships in Pacifica, California, and we couldn't have done it without the incredible support of our fans, volunteers, sponsors, participants, and community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past decade, we've welcomed thousands of spectators, surf dogs from across the country, rescue organizations, families, media from around the world, and visitors who come to experience one of the most joyful and unique sporting events anywhere.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have to admit—it hasn't always been easy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each year, the costs of producing a safe, family-friendly, world-class event continue to rise. New operational requirements, permits, insurance, equipment, staffing, and event services have made organizing the Championships more challenging than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we prepare for our 10th Anniversary event on August 1st, several new expenses and requirements have recently surfaced, adding to the costs of bringing this beloved tradition to the beach once again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That's why we're asking for your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If the World Dog Surfing Championships has ever made you smile, inspired you, introduced you to rescue dogs, brought your family together, or simply brightened your day, please consider supporting this year's event through our GoFundMe:

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Will there be an 11th Annual World Dog Surfing Championships in Pacifica? We honestly don't know. We've been fortunate to receive invitations from many other communities that would love to host this internationally recognized event.
</div>
<div>What we do know is that your support can help ensure that this year's 10th Anniversary celebration is our best one yet.
</div>
