The Surfrider Foundation turns 40 this year! To celebrate Surfrider & the opening of the new space for Summer Love Jewelry in Rincón, I will donate a portion of sales from the PR CHARMS FOR CHARITY collection to our local chapter, Fundación Surfrider Rincón, where I volunteered when I first moved to Puerto Rico.
Why I Give Back
In my previous job, I was a teacher in Austin, TX, and found a lot of fulfillment working with students at the local public schools. When I returned to the island of my parents, I had to find other ways to give back, and I’ve been able to do that through the sale of my jewelry.
I started selling the PR CHARM FOR CHARITY necklace back in September 2019 as a way to support different groups doing important work on the island. The campaign has evolved to include different charm designs & a ring. Every year I choose a different non-profit to support, and in 2024 that organization is Surfrider Rincón.
The Current Campaign: Fundación Surfrider Rincón
A portion of the sales from the necklaces and rings in the PR Charms for Charity collection will be donated to Fundación Surfrider Rincón, a nonprofit organization that does weekly water testing at beaches in Rincón, Aguada, and Aguadilla. They organize beach cleanups, work with local coastal preservation groups, and offer workshops about ocean protection and conservation.
I started volunteering with the Rincón chapter when I first moved to PR in 2011, and I’m excited that my jewelry will now support them too. We love them and the work they do!
