This project is part of UnitedHealthcare’s “Do Good. Live Well.” employee-volunteer initiative, whose mission is to inspire service and encourage volunteerism. UnitedHealthcare’s support of Indo Jax Surf Charities was made possible through CBS EcoMedia’s WellnessAd program.

UnitedHealthcare’s support will fund much-needed camp materials and supplies, including tandem surf boards, T-shirts, sunblock and hats.
