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!
