“Youth focused community outreach is our mission. Funding, with exception to the sea hawker / seahawks alaska 12 tour community outreach, is solely directed at youth needs in the mat-su valley. Mat-su sea hawkers serves as driving force providing participation assistance, education, and volunteerism. Our outreach champions community betterment, and promotes active lifestyles and easily accessible opportunities for developing youth health, wellness, and leadership skills. Mat-su sea hawkers strives to help youth combat and overcome childhood obesity, and prevent early development of inappropriate behaviors, through healthy and educational venues such as, but not limited to, play 60 challenge, and no more mat-su. Along with donating financial assistance, as needed, we direct and challenge youth participation in volunteerism, community based wellness programs, and promote activities that help team- building and leadership development, and encourages healthy living through proper nutrition and active lifestyle. Volunteerism, donations, and sponsorships, help the sea hawker / seahawks alaska 12 tour community outreach deliver on community betterment by promoting physical and mental wellness by one-on-one and collectively interacting with alaska urban and rural school age youth, with youth patients at children's hospital - anchorage, alaska native medical center, ronald mcdonald house, with alaska based military personnel, and helping fundraise for local alaska charities. Our ongoing outreach is very successful thanks to strong collaborations with volunteer players, cheerleaders, and staff of the seattle seahawks, volunteers from mat-su sea hawkers, and our meaningful partnerships with other alaska community charities.”
