The RMF was founded in 2004 and has shifted its primary focus in the last few years to educating elementary school students on helping the environment. The Foundation puts a major emphasis on greening the two benefiting schools in his district in addition to teaching general eco-friendly practices such as organic gardening, composting, and ways to keep plastic out of our oceans.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cThe golf event is a fun way for me to raise funding for Cardiff SEA.\\u00a0 The organization has been a great collaborator and always puts the funds we raise to good use,\\u201d said Machado.\\u00a0 \\u201cThe goal in the end is to be able to help children understand their contribution towards a healthy Earth while showing surrounding communities and schools what\\u2019s possible through curriculum and programs that inspire our youth.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The Rob Machado Seaside Pro Junior will be webcast live at &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.robmachadoprojunior.com\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;robmachadoprojunior.com&lt;\\/a&gt; both days.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Special thanks to presenting sponsors, Hurley and Reef, and additional supporters of the Rob Machado Seaside Pro Junior Experience, Dragon, Nixon, DaKine, Channel Islands, Sambazon, GoPro, Futures, and Surfline.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About The Rob Machado Foundation&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;The Rob Machado Foundation is a 501c(3) non-profit organization created to support various charities dedicated to environmental programs within Southern California.
