Surf classic raises $1,500 for Halifax Health
The third-annual May Day Memorial Surf Classic, held in May, in Flagler Beach, raised more than $1,500 for the Halifax Health – Foundation. The event is organized by Haley Watson, whose mother was a Halifax Health intensive care unit nurse until her death, at 46, due to heart disease.
“Watson, her family and others who supported this event can be assured that this donation will go towards … providing quality healthcare to area residents,” said Joe Petrock, the hospital’s executive director.
Haley Watson surfs professionally at competitions along the nation’s East coast. Trophies for the surf classic are crafted by her neighbor, out of recycled wood from the Flagler Beach Pier.
In the event's two years, the May Day Surf Classic has grown to 90 competitors in many classes and more than 300 total attendees.
