Over the past 24 years, the SIMA Environmental Fund has raised more than $6.5 million for organizations dedicated to protecting and preserving our oceans, beaches and surf breaks. This effort is as important today as it was 25 years ago, and the SIMA Environmental Fund needs your help. As individual businesses, we each face unique concerns and obstacles. As an industry, we face one common issue that threatens our continued success as a whole: ocean pollution. Poor water quality, watershed runoff and irresponsible coastal development are negative trends that threaten the entire surf industry. For every week that a beach is closed due to unsafe bacteria levels, for every surf break that is destroyed by development, for every child that doesn’t have beach access, surf industry companies see a direct correlation in lost sales. And for many of us, these trends affect not only our work, but also our play. It is incumbent upon every surf company to support this ongoing effort to ensure that our ocean playground remains healthy and accessible for our customers—and ourselves. WHAT CAN I DO? Each year Waterman’s Weekend serves as the primary fundraiser for the SIMA Environmental Fund, through Friday’s Waterman’s Classic Golf Tournament and Saturday’s Waterman’s Ball and Auction. By signing on as a 2014 Waterman’s Ball sponsor, your company can contribute to a vital effort to protect and preserve our ocean environment. With so many worthwhile causes seeking support, it’s often difficult to assess where your company’s donation can make the greatest impact. By sponsoring and attending Waterman’s Weekend you can be assured that your contribution will go toward solving specific oceanrelated environmental issues and thereby help ensure that the surf industry and your business continue to thrive. WHY SHOULD I BE A SPONSOR? Waterman’s Ball sponsor packages offer a number of valuable benefits, as well as recognition for your company as a major donor to the more than 650 Waterman’s Ball attendees which include surf industry executives, Southern California business leaders and friends of the environment. In addition, the 25th annual Waterman’s Ball is certain to attract local and regional attention due to the appeal of this year’s honorees. This year’s event will honor surf legend and two-time world champion Tom Carroll as Waterman of the Year, Golden Globe Award Winner and environmental activist Ted Danson as Environmentalist of the Year, and legendary shaper Rusty Preisendorfer with the Lifetime Achievement Award. A Special Recognition Award will also be presented to the family of influential surf industry figure, Hobie Alter, in memory of SIMA’s first-ever Waterman of the Year. Depending on the level of commitment, sponsors can expect benefits such as a table of 10 at the Waterman’s Ball, guest rooms at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel during Waterman’s Weekend, and a color spread in the special edition 25th Anniversary Waterman’s Ball coffee table book. However, the biggest benefit of being a Waterman’s Ball sponsor is the return on your investment in the ocean environment. Your contribution will directly contribute to the protection and preservation of our oceans, beaches and surf breaks that are the industry’s playground and livelihood. YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT! On behalf of SIMA and the SIMA Environmental Fund, we urge you to take part in the critical effort to help conserve our ocean environment. We have included all the information you’ll need to participate in this year’s fundraising efforts. The 25th Anniversary Waterman’s Weekend events are expected to sell out early so we encourage you to complete the attached sponsorship reservation form and return it with your payment as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your support.
