Beach Auto Brokers is a Proud Sponsor of Life Rolls On

They Will Surf Again

This past Saturday, August 13th, Beach Auto Brokers was proud to once again sponsor Life Rolls On at the They Will Surf Again event on the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. This amazing organization has created an event that makes it possible for people affected by spinal cord injury to get into the water and surf the waves; believing that adaptive surfing and skating could inspire infinite possibilities beyond paralysis!  This was the biggest year yet!!  With over 100 surfers and 300 volunteers!

They Will Surf Again (TWSA) is an award-winning series of bi-coastal events that empower paraplegics and quadriplegics to experience the freedom of mobility by riding a wave with the assistance of adaptive equipment and the support of hard working volunteers. They Will Surf Again has the unique ability to engage and bridge the able-bodied and disabled communities, as they collaborate to push the bounds of possibility for those with SCI.

When the opportunity came up for Beach Auto Brokers to sponsor this event, Brian Jones, a local surfer himself and Dealer Operator for Beach Auto Brokers, jumped on it.  “As a local business owner and a father myself, it means so much to me to be able to give back to the community and make a difference.  Watching those who you wouldn’t think could get on a surfboard be able to ride the waves is an inspiration to us all, and we are proud to be a part of this event” Jones commented.  Year after year, Beach Auto Brokers continues to say yes to this sponsorship – committed to giving back!

Life Rolls On is a non-profit organization that inspires others to see the boundless possibilities beyond paralysis. Established in 2002, LRO’s signature adaptive surfing program, They Will Surf Again, has grown into a catalyst of hope for thousands of individuals throughout the world.

It’s That Time Again… Back To School…

It seems like only yesterday we were cheering for the last days of the school year and the lazy summer days to come. Unfortunately, time flies when you are having fun and the back-to-school season has somehow arrived! We know you are busy checking school supply lists and shopping all the back-to-school sales for great deals on the trendy must-haves for your little ones, but have you considered what you need to do to get your vehicle ready?

Now is the perfect time to make sure your car is at the top of its class. Whether you are preparing for busy mornings and afternoons full of activities, or sending your child off to college – Be prepared and get ready for this busy time!  Here are a few simple guidelines we recommend you follow:

  • Know your vehicle. And make sure that your child knows the vehicle as well.  Whether they are going to be in it with you on a daily basis, or if they are heading to college – make sure they know where safety equipment is located, how to get to and use the spare tire, and they know where the owner’s manual is located.
  • Check your dash. And make sure that your child knows that the dash board is an information center for the vehicle!  Don’t ignore warning lights!  If one is lit up, have it checked sooner rather than later.  If your child is taking the vehicle to school, make sure they know if something lights up they need to get it checked out immediately.
  • Always be prepared. Basic safety equipment should be kept in your vehicle – you never know when you’ll need something!  Jumper cables, a pair of gloves, flashlight with extra batteries, extra washer fluid, and a stocked first aid kit are a few items that we recommend you have on hand.  If you’re in an area with colder weather, you might want to also have a blanket, ice scraper and/or winter shovel, some bottled water, and a non-perishable snack.
