2025 Grants Challenge

Pier to Pier

This grant will allow our small volunteer team to continue to move this forward. We had a fire that cut of residents access, yet we are lined up with a major event like LA28. This is more than just a dream—it’s a movement. A movement to reimagine how we move—coastally, consciously, and collectively. Residents, workers and tourists All on the Pacific versus the 405 or PCH.
We're restoring something beautiful. A tradition of coastal connection once lost to time, now returning in full glory. Our Coastal Heritage redefined for future generations.
