Tuesday, April 23rd from 5 - 8pm at Flatbread in Paia (89 Hana Hwy). Come join us for this public event and fundraiser for Be the Effect Foundation, Maui Food Bank, and other local charities. We will have a Silent Auction with items from local surf shops and sponsors with proceeds going towards the event and other community programs. Flatbread will also donate a portion of the proceeds that night. We invite everyone to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to Maui Food Bank.
The Butterfly Effect empowers women and girls in sports, health and fitness, and gives back to local charities and communities through service work. It's an international event that started on Maui seven years ago by Tatiana Howard, professional windsurfer and all-around water woman, and is now in 10 different countries. Every "Butterfly" is empowered with more confidence and joy that enhances not only her board riding skills, but also her navigation through everyday life. We create an environment where women learn and practice their sport in a safe, comfortable group setting with other women. We promote health, strength, and well-being, and are committed to ocean awareness and enhancing communities worldwide.
"Water sports have empowered and inspired me to live out my hopes and dreams, and giving back to surf communities is a passion I wish to share with many!"
– Tatiana Howard, Founder, The Butterfly Effect
