Lifeline Surf Classic
JOIN US ON THE BEACH TO CHEER, CONNECT, AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY
The Lifeline Surf Classic is back for its eighth year, bringing together surfers, local business, and the Northern Beaches community for a day of waves, connection, and purpose.
This annual event raises vital funds for Lifeline Northern Beaches, Mosman to Kirribilli crisis support and suicide prevention services in the community.
Teams of four – made up of surfers of all ages and abilities – will compete in a tag-team style format, with each team selecting a pro surfer to join their lineup.
Support your local community by getting behind and donating to your favourite team –
How it helps: This year’s event aims to raise $100,000 to support Lifeline’s 13 11 14 crisis helpline. Last year, Lifeline’s Balgowlah Crisis Support Centre answered more than 46,000 calls from people struggling to cope. With demand continuing to rise, every dollar raised through the Lifeline Surf Classic helps ensure that no one in our community has to face their darkest moments alone.
Just $39 helps answer one potentially life-saving call.
Why it matters:
