Who do we support?
The mission of the Channel Islands Gulls is to raise money for deserving Ventura County non-profit organizations.
In the past four years, we have donated more than $200,000 to the following organizations. In addition to opening their wallets, the Channel Islands Gulls open their closets, their food pantries and their hearts by giving of their time to the philanthropies we support.
2023 Non-Profit Recipients
The Channel Islands Gulls give more than money to our charities.
We give of ourselves: our time and talents.
