HONORING THE LEGACY OF BEN CARLSON,

THE FALLEN NEWPORT BEACH HERO 

The Ben Carlson Memorial & Scholarship Foundation was formed to leverage Ben Carlson's legacy through doing positive work in his memory. Taking into consideration the things that truly mattered to Ben, your donations will proudly support the following causes as the BCMSF Board of Advisors decides. Learn more.

JOIN THE GRAND LIST OF VIP DONORS

Supporters who donate $1,000 or more will be a part of Ben's legacy for decades to come as your name will be embossed on one of the 4 bronze plaques that will surround the base of the statue. You will also be welcomed to attend a private unveiling event of the Ben Carlson Statue at an exclusive Southern California Art Gallery, prior to the public unveiling. Learn more.

 

THE STATUE IS IN PRODUCTION

We're proud to announce that the statue is underway and is currently in production. The #BenCarlsonStatue is set to be unveiled on July 6th, 2016, @7:30pm. We hope that you will all be able to join us in attending a very special event in honor of a true hero! Learn more.

Last month @hurley launched the Ben Carlson Collection internationally and a week later the apparel was sold out! Today we celebrated the success of the line as @ryanhurley and @punkerpat presented us with a check from the proceeds! Thanks to everyone who was involved in creating and delivering this vision as a vehicle to tell Ben's story around the world in such fashionable form! We're incredibly grateful and excited as this partnership continues to grow into the future. #gratitude #BenCarlsonXHurley #bendidgo #hero 📷: @strangeleeper
