The Arunay Foundation [https://www.arunayfoundation.org/] was created to transform grief into purposeraising awareness about the very real dangers of sneaker waves and educating others on beach and ocean safety. Most beachgoers are unaware that sneaker waves on the West Coast claim more lives annually than all other weather-related hazards combined.
The rugged coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington, though breathtakingly beautiful, can be perilous. Arunay's parents didnt know the riskswhat sneaker waves were, how to recognize hazardous conditions, or what life-saving actions to take. They believe that with the right awareness and resources, such losses can be prevented.
Guided by Arunays light, their mission is to ensure that a day at the beach always ends with laughternot loss.
The Arunay Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (EIN: 87-3499812). All donations to Arunay Foundation are tax-deductible.
