​Ricochet has been raising awareness and funds for human/animal causes since she first surfed with Patrick Ivison, a quadriplegic surfer, on August 20, 2009. Twenty one months later, on July 25, 2011... she raised her $100,000th dollar for Patrick the Miracle Dog! Bringing her fundraising journey full circle!  Since 2009, she held over 100 fundraisers, and raised funds/awareness for more than 250 human/animal causes. She has now raised over $500,000... that's over a half million dollars!! In addition, her sponsor, the Rose Foundation awarded a grant to cover an additional three years of physical therapy for Patrick.  It costs about $30,000 a year for his therapy, so the grant really helped his family a LOT!  We love the Rose Foundation!

​You can also choose to donate monthly. When you get to the Pay Pal site, it has a box where you can check to make it a monthly donation. Pay Pal will do all the work, and your monthly donation will come to us every month! 


​CURRENT FUNDRAISER(S)

All of Ricochet and Cori's fundraisers go through our 501(c)3 non-profit organization, Puppy Prodigies Neo-natal & Early Learning Program.

​ Waves of Empowerment & Canine-Assisted Programs

​

​Our Waves of Empowerment program enriches the lives of military with post traumatic stress (PTSD), traumatic brain injuries (TBI), military sexual trauma (MST), wounded warriors, active duty service members, combat veterans, people with disabilities and kids with special needs by taking them from the battleground to the playground.  ​

​It's a mentorship program that pairs veterans with PTSD and kids with special needs for a day of paws-on healing through canine-assisted surfing, paddling, swimming, playing and therapy. 
​

​This fund covers expenses and overhead of the program. We also use this fund to augment fundraising goals that fall short of the amount set. Or, if a fundraiser raises more than the goal, we allocate those excess funds to this account.
