The World Dog Surfing Championships, a beloved summer event in Pacifica, are at risk of cancellation due to a 42% increase in operational costs. Event organizers highlight the necessity of raising $10,000 by May 1 to proceed with the 2025 competition, scheduled for Aug. 2. Although the event attracts thousands of attendees and brings significant media attention, only $2,000 has been raised in their current GoFundMe campaign. The championships also serve as a fundraiser for local schools and animal rescues, emphasizing their community impact and popularity.
We need to raise a certain amount by May 1 or we will not be doing a live event in Pacifica this year, organizers told SFGATE.
This popular event brings thousands of people to the beaches of Pacifica, garners millions of dollars in national and worldwide press coverage to hundreds of millions of viewers and readers.
