Non-Profits
Wake For Warriors
Wake for Warriors is not just another veterans charity; it's a lifeline for our wounded veterans and their families. Through the transformative power of water sports, we provide therapeutic experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Wakeboarding and wake surfing aren't just thrilling activities; they serve as pathways to physical and emotional healing for those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
Trails Adaptive
Founded in 2001, TRAILS is the University of Utah Health’s global adaptive program at Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital that focuses on the recreation, sports, wellness and education needs of people with complex physical injury or disease.
A team of rehabilitation professionals designed TRAILS to serve as part of a long-term rehabilitation plan. TRAILS aims to maximize physical and mental health by focusing on year-round activities that participants can incorporate into a daily, active lifestyle.
Activities are always free and run five to six days a week in the Greater Salt Lake area. We encourage family members, friends, and caregivers to participate and to receive training as well.
Beautifully Flawed Foundation
Our mission is to encourage a broken world and offer hope to overcome through Jesus Christ. We believe there is a longing within every individual to overcome the trials, pains and difficulties of life. We believe that longing is answered and fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ.
With a vision to establish individuals to be overcomers in Christ, the family and friends of Bethany Hamilton, a world-class professional surfer who lost her arm to a shark bite at the age of 13, formed the Beautifully Flawed Foundation a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 32-0220098).
Jesus said, “In the world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
The Forge Retreat
The Forge Retreat is a four-day experience for men who’ve faced traumatic limb loss or limb difference to discover strength, hope, and courage. Surrounded by Christ-centered community with powerful group sessions, expert advice, and having opportunities to surf, wakesurf, and more, attendees discover that overcoming is possible and God is forging them with purpose.
Men leave inspired and encouraged in their faith, empowered by the camaraderie of brothers around them, and confident that God takes the pain (fires) endured in this life and uses them to shape them into the men He’s always created them to be.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17
