For over ten years, skateboarders in Walton County have been dreaming of a new skate park. Those dreams are now close to coming true. Walton County has allocated 20,000 square feet of space at Helen McCall Park off U.S. Highway 98 in Santa Rosa Beach for a new skating facility. Walton Skate Society is now making a major fundraising push to help bring the project to fruition. The group held a fundraiser on February 20 at Trebeaché that drew huge crowds, showing what a large support base the project has. The Owsley Brothers performed for a packed house. Check out this video: Listen to this 30A Radio interview with Justin Gaffrey, a local artist and skater, about the project: Learn more at waltonsk8s.com.

Every day, The 30A Company works hard to promote our laid-back beach lifestyle and to help support and promote Gulf Coast businesses. But we’re also very passionate about giving back to our local and global community. Here are a few of the worthwhile projects that we’re very proud to be involved with: The Sonder Project 360 Blue, YOLO Board and The 30A Company are founding partners of The Sonder Project, a non-profit organization that supports high-impact, sustainable projects aimed at ending extreme poverty and hunger, locally, domestically and abroad. What does “Sonder” mean? Sonder is the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own — each with a story to tell and each with a story worth hearing. One of our endeavors is Project: feed, a program that helps vacation rental companies across the country to collect and redistribute the nonperishable food items routinely left behind by departing guests. We then work with a network of nationwide volunteers to redistribute the otherwise discarded food to local charities and food banks in each community. Over 100 vacation rental management companies have already joined the program, and the hope is that with minimal effort, Project: feed can help the vacation rental industry come together to make a real impact in the fight against hunger. In December 2015, our Sonder team completed construction of a new school in the village of Bagyambin, Burkina Faso, in Africa. The new school will make education possible for 77 students in the village, which is a huge milestone in a country where 78 percent of the population is illiterate. Our team also completed construction of a water well in the village of Nabadogogo, Burkina Faso. Prior to the completion of this project, the 3,500 people living in this village had to spend hours and walk miles to retrieve filthy water needed for survival. With a water well now in their community, they can enjoy clean water near their homes and use their most valuable resource — time — in more productive ways. To learn more about The Sonder Project, or to find out how you can get involved, please visit thesonderproject.org. 30A Sticker Donation Box Partnership with Alaqua Animal Refuge So far, we’ve given away over 990,000 of our famous round blue 30A stickers. Although we give them away for free in local businesses, donation boxes have been set up in many locations to encourage contributions to Alaqua Animal Refuge, our local no-kill animal shelter. Alaqua Animal Refuge is located on 10 gorgeous acres of farmland in Freeport, just north of Santa Rosa Beach. As many as 100 animals are adopted every month at Alaqua, and the refuge is home to as many as 250 animals at any given time. It costs about $80,000 a month to run Alaqua, which is dependent on private donations. To date, our 30A Sticker Donation Box partnership has raised over $130,000 for this special local charity. Any local business that would like to have an Alaqua Animal Refuge 30A Sticker donation box can call Alaqua at 850-880-6399. 30A Charity Golf Classic Created by The 30A Company’s co-founder Angela Ragsdale, the 30A Charity Golf Classic has raised over $73,000 for charities to date. Proudly sponsored by The Aesthetic Clinique and many other local businesses, 100 percent of all proceeds from this annual event go straight to help local charities in need. In its first year, $23,000 was given to Off The Mat and Shelter House Domestic Violence Center. In 2014, $27,000 was raised for Alaqua Animal Refuge. In 2015, $23,000 was raised for Food for Thought. In 2016, the tournament’s charity partner will be Children’s Volunteer Health Network. For more information about the 30A Charity Golf Classic, visit 30Acharitygolfclassic.com. 30A 10K & Fun Run Partnership Every Thanksgiving morning, thousands of runners gather in Rosemary Beach for the 30A 10K & 1-Mile Fun Run. The annual race, organized by Karen Meadows, Craig Baranowski and Amy Stoyles, benefits different local charities each year with a focus on families and children. To date, the 30A 10K has raised over $150,000, and The 30A Company is a proud sponsor of this new holiday tradition. For more information, visit 30a10k.com. In addition to these initiatives, The 30A Company frequently donates product, promotion, time and resources to many other wonderful local organizations and events, including South Walton Fire District, Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance, Food for Thought, Seaside Neighborhood School, Cultural Arts Alliance, The Repertory Theatre, Children’s Volunteer Health Network and many more.

Bring your funky beach cruiser to the third annual 30A Sand Rover Rally in South Walton, Florida, on April 9, 2016, presented by Land Rover Gulf Coast. Last year, over 80 vehicles showed up for the rally, which was featured in the Summer 2015 issue of ROVERS magazine. Land Rovers, dune buggies and beach cruisers of ALL MAKES AND MODELS are welcome. SCHEDULE 8:30am – 12pm: Trail Rides or early setup 12pm – 5pm: 2016 30A Sand Rover Rally (in the parking lot at the corner of 30A and 393 by Gulf Place) 5pm – 8pm: After-party at La Playa (just across the street) featuring The Courtyard Saints (More details below) CLICK HERE NOW TO LET US KNOW YOU’RE COMING! PRESENTED BY: WE’D ALSO LIKE TO THANK OUR 2016 SPONSORS: 3RD ANNUAL 30A SAND ROVER RALLY SCHEDULE SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 2016 8:30am – Noon: Trail Rides or Early Setup This year, we’ll skip the long, slow caravan crawl out into the woods. Instead, we’ll MEET in the woods at 8:30am. We’ll provide everyone with coordinates to the big meadow where we did the drone flyover last year (see photo below). After a few minutes of photos and introductions, we’ll break up and hit the trails for hours of fun! With any luck, we’ll have some rain in advance that week. All drivers are asked to be responsible and courteous to other drivers and to local property, and any off-roading activities should adhere to Tread Lightly principles. South Walton features over 25,000 acres of protected land, including Point Washington State Forest. But if getting muddy or dusty just isn’t your thing, no worries! You can hit the beach that morning instead, or cruise along Scenic Highway 30A, or just head over to the official rally location to mingle with other enthusiasts. IMPORTANT TRAIL RIDE NOTES: Some of the trails in Point Washington State Forest are very narrow (as in, “knock your mirrors off,” “scratch your paint,” and “tear up your roof rack” narrow). If your don’t like the sound of limbs scratching along the sides of your vehicle, we strongly recommend that you stick to the main dirt roads (see map below). If you drive down the narrow unmarked sand trails, you might not be able to back out, especially if you’re part of a long caravan. Please also note that anything on TOP of your truck (flood lamps, luggage, surf boards, etc.) could easily be damaged on the narrow trails, so please take it slow and easy. Please don’t feel pressured to venture onto these narrow trails. There are plenty of wide dirt roads to explore! 12pm – 5pm: The 2016 30A Sand Rover Rally will be held in the parking lot just across the street from Gulf Place and Ed Walline Beach Access. We’re expecting another big turnout this year, so if “getting a good spot” is important to you (or if you have a stunning “show car”), you might consider skipping the morning trail ride and head straight to rally location to secure a great spot. We really have no way of knowing for sure how many vehicles are planning to attend, but volunteers will be ready to help park vehicles as they arrive. If the main parking lot fills up (first come, first served), there are other public parking spaces nearby. Just come prepared to HAVE FUN and bring your best casual beach attitude! 5pm – 8pm: Official rally after-party featuring The Courtyard Saints at La Playa in Gulf Place CLICK HERE TO LET US KNOW YOU’RE COMING! Check out this recap of our 2015 event by 8 FIFTY Productions: CAMPING: Campgrounds fill up fast, so if you plan to camp, please make your reservations as soon as possible. Local camping options include: Grayton Beach State Park Topsail Hill Preserve State Park Camping on the Gulf Live Oak Landing Point Washington State Park: $10/night (RSVP: 850-547-7083) HOTELS & RENTAL HOMES: Scenic Highway 30A is home to a very wide range of accommodations, from multi-million dollar beach front estates to cabins, studio apartments and boutique hotels.
