Leadership Award Recipient: 2023
The 2023 "Be A Ripple" Leadership Award recipient - and the inspiration for this award - was Carly Coble. Carly is not just a ripple, SHE IS A WAVE! Carly embodies what it means to be an OisF Rider – she is kind, she is humble, she is a leader in her community and a role model to so many girls (and women). Carly has been a member of The OisF community from the very start. She has led Rider events, stuffed stockings for children living in safe homes, raised money for The OisF through the "For The Girls Surf Classic" - the all-girls surf competition she started on her own, and has become one of the most trusted surf instructors in our women’s surf therapy program. The OisF thanks Carly for everything she has done for The OisF and her community!
Leadership Award Recipient: 2024
The 2024 "Be A Ripple" Leadership Award recipient was Lila Schmidt, a senior at Manasquan High School. Lila is a young woman who makes an impact with her presence and the way she quietly personifies strength, service and a desire to do good through every facet of her being. She is a responsible, loving caregiver to many children in our community and a calming, empowering dance instructor to our local girls. Lila has also worked diligently alongside her family, helping to raise and donate over one million dollars for the Pediatric Cardiac Care Unit at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia through @bighearts2littlehearts, a charity that endeavors to lengthen and improve the lives of children diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease.
