Switchfoot Bro-Am Benefit

What if we could bring together friends from the surf industry and the music industry for a charity surf contest that raised funds for kids in need? What if we gave a free concert on the beach? What if we used our stage to let homeless and at-risk youth know that their stories are powerful – as powerful as the music we play every night? We wanted to celebrate the tenacity of the journey they are taking, and invest in their futures.

That’s how the Bro-Am was born. Twenty years later, our idea has grown into two iconic San Diego events – Bro-Am’s Benefit Party and Beach Fest. At the Benefit Party, we gather 500+ industry leaders, tastemakers, influencers, professional athletes, musicians, artists, and philanthropists for a fundraising event like none other.  At the Beach Fest, over 15,000 people come together for an empowering community movement of giving through a day of surf, food, live music and fun.
