The Surfside Beach camera reaches people who are already here or already coming. Sponsoring it is tax deductible, and it pays for a student's tuition.

No ad network takes a share. Every dollar goes to the foundation.

Plausible measured these audience figures from September 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026.

Why this beats a billboard

A billboard on Highway 17 reaches a driver for two seconds at fifty five miles an hour. The camera reaches somebody who chose to look at Surfside Beach and then stayed to watch. They are checking the surf before they drive down, or they are sitting in Ohio in February thinking about the week they booked in July.

We sell the camera ourselves. There is no exchange, no broker and no revenue share, so the price you pay is the amount the foundation receives, and you get a receipt for it.

Video cadence: A visit qualifies after thirty seconds of watched time. Repeats play no sooner than every fifteen minutes of watched time. Rotation includes at most three spots.

Terms run three, six or twelve months. A twelve month term is billed at ten months. The foundation is a 501(c)(3), EIN 20-8687570, so a sponsorship is generally deductible as a business expense or a charitable gift. Ask your accountant which applies to you.

If you are not a business, you can make a personal gift on our donate page.
