   Positive Vibe Warriors Foundation

   Jan 2017 — Present · San Clemente, CA, US

   The Positive Vibe Warrior foundation is a charitable organization that raises funds to assist communities with youth water safety programs and ocean education. The foundation was founded by the Gudauskas family, what started as a grassroots movement has now grown into a world-renowned organization inspiring individuals to make a positive impact within their communities.My time with the foundation has given me an appreciation for how important it is to invest into the next generation by instilling them with confidence, positive attitude and healthy habits. I have had the privilege to work on numerous local and global grassroots activations that supported emerging surf communities. One of my fondest memories working with the foundation was jumping in a Uhaul with Dane Gudauskas and loading it up with 700+ surfboards donated from the surfers all over the California coast. These donations were then shipped to South Africa for the largest board drive ever and put smiles on thousands of kids in need of positivity.• Developed marketing strategy for social media, increasing brand awareness 3x YOY • Acquired and managed partner sponsorships for foundation events initiatives and events • Managed brand collaborations for Positive Vibe Warriors licensee products• Assisted on site support at events and fundraisers
