Each month Sayulita Life gives back to our community by donating to a local cause or charity in need. This month, Sayulita Life has chosen Sayulita’s JR Sup Team as our donation recipient. The Sayulita JR Sup Team is one of Sayulita’s original and longest lasting youth programs in our community. The team is comprised of over 50 local Sayulita children who participate and train year-round, and is an organization run entirely as a community and donation-based program, meaning they are in constant need of funding and support in order to operate. Sayulita Life’s donation to the team will help cover the costs of some much needed new equipment, including new team uniforms, paddles, and life preservers.

Each month Sayulita Life gives back to our community. For March, 2021, Sayulita has chosen the Trashion Fashion fundraiser as our donation recipient. Trashion Fashion began just a couple years ago as a means to raise funds for Sayulita’s recycling program, and to get the community involved in recycling and to spread awareness about its importance. The concept quickly became a hit, as volunteer participants worked together to create fashionable looks out of trash or recycled items to be shown off in a fun runway fashion show for the community. Lina Weissman, creative director, tells us more about the event and how Sayulita Life’s donation will help the recycling program in Sayulita.
