At the SouthCoast Business Alliance (SCBA), we believe that strong communities are built by supporting programs that uplift youth and families. That’s why we are proud to support Gnome Surf, a nonprofit surf therapy organization based in Fall River, Massachusetts.
Gnome Surf offers a unique blend of surf therapy, art therapy, yoga, and eco-therapy for children and families of all abilities. Their programs create a culture of kindness and inclusion, giving participants a safe space to build confidence, improve mental health, and form meaningful connections. It’s more than just learning to surf; it’s about fostering emotional well-being and personal growth in a supportive community environment.
SCBA’s mission is to invest in the future of the South Coast by supporting programs that empower youth and strengthen community ties. Through fundraising events like New Bedford Oktoberfest and the Annual Golf Tournament, SCBA raises funds that go directly to organizations making a tangible impact in the lives of young people and families. Over the years, we’ve been proud to help support Gnome Surf as they bring their innovative programs to the community.
We support Gnome Surf because their mission aligns perfectly with SCBA’s values. They provide inclusive programming, promote mental and emotional wellness, and strengthen the Fall River community by creating spaces where youth and families can thrive. By working together, SCBA and Gnome Surf are helping build a brighter future for the South Coast. One wave at a time.
