Sea Hugger is proud to participate in Coastside Gives, an annual community fundraising event that supports local nonprofits working to protect and strengthen the Coastside. Coastside Gives brings together residents, businesses and supporters who care about the future of our community. For 24 hours, people come together to raise funds for organizations making a difference across Half Moon Bay and the surrounding Coastside region.

Your donation through Coastside Gives helps Sea Hugger continue its work protecting oceans from plastic pollution and educating the next generation of ocean stewards!

What Is Coastside Gives?

Coastside Gives is a 24-hour online giving event organized by the Community Foundation of San Mateo County. The event raises funds for dozens of Coastside nonprofits working in environmental protection, education, arts and community services. This community-wide campaign increases visibility for local nonprofits and helps organizations like Sea Hugger grow programs that directly benefit our coastal environment.

Participating in Coastside Gives allows Sea Hugger to reach new supporters and secure funding needed to expand ocean protection programs.

Why Sea Hugger Participates

Plastic pollution remains one of the greatest threats to marine ecosystems. Every year plastic waste enters the ocean and harms wildlife, coastal habitats and food systems.

Sea Hugger works to stop this pollution through community action and education. Donations from Coastside Gives support programs such as:

• Beach cleanups that remove trash before it enters the ocean
• Cigarette butt recycling stations that prevent toxic waste from reaching waterways
• Youth education and field trips that teach ocean stewardship
• Community programs that reduce single-use plastic

Your support helps Sea Hugger turn awareness into action across the Coastside.

Why Your Donation Matters

Every contribution during Coastside Gives helps expand Sea Hugger’s impact.

Your donation helps:

• Fund coastal cleanup efforts
• Support environmental education programs for youth
• Expand solutions that reduce plastic pollution
• Protect marine wildlife and coastal ecosystems

When you give through Coastside Gives, you help build a stronger community committed to protecting our ocean.
