Last fall when the Coastal Bend Chapter was fighting to place an initiative on the city ballot to allow Corpus Christi residents the opportunity to decide whether the beach south of Packery Channel would be open to the public, all Texas Surfrider chapters appealed to the Surfrider national organization for help. The campaign to open the beach was successful and we all won with the recent announcement that we received $10,000 in grant money, to be split equally among the Texas chapters.

The grant was provided by the Lattner Family Foundation of Florida and will be used to help fund our educational outreach programs.
