Pukka is proud to partner with Surfers for Autism, providing hats for every participant and volunteer at the organization's largest event of the year, the 16th Annual Cocoa Beach Surf Festival on June 20 at Alan Shepard Park in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The event welcomes over 200 participants along with hundreds of dedicated volunteers for a full day centered on surfing, inclusion, and community, creating life changing experiences for children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. 

At Pukka, we believe the best headwear represents something bigger than a logo. It's about belonging, shared experiences, and the memories created while wearing it. Supporting Surfers for Autism is a natural extension of those values. Every hat distributed at the event is a small reminder of an incredible day where participants are celebrated, volunteers give selflessly, and families come together in an environment built on encouragement, acceptance, and joy.

Surfers for Autism has built an inspiring mission around unlocking the potential of children and adults with autism by creating safe, supportive opportunities to experience the therapeutic benefits of surfing while strengthening communities through volunteerism. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into one of Florida's most impactful nonprofit organizations, offering free surf festivals and chapter events that bring together families, surfers, therapists, and volunteers with one common purpose: creating unforgettable moments on and off the water. 

We are honored to play a small role in an event that leaves such a lasting impact. To everyone participating, volunteering, organizing, and cheering from the shoreline, thank you for showing what community looks like.
