$10

Surfer Swab for ARGs

Additional nasal swab sample for one surfer that will be used to quantify ARGs (antibiotic resistance genes).

$15

Surfer Swab for MRSA

One-time nasal swabbing of a surfer to see if they are colonized by MRSA.

$35

Add a surfer to study

This gift will allow us to add another surfer to the study. We will screen them one-time for MRSA and ARGs.

$50

Screen surfer twice

This would allow us to screen the same surfer twice for MRSA and ARGs.

$100

Screen surfer three times

This donation will allow us to screen the same surfer for MRSA and ARGs three times over the 2018-2019 winter surf season.

$300

VRE Start-up costs

We would also like to screen all of our surfers for VRE. To do so, we need to purchase special agar, petri- dishes, and antibiotic supplements.

$500

Add a resistance gene

With this generous donation, we could screen for one more antibiotic resistance gene in both nasal and marine water samples.

$15,000

Add an entire beach!

With your incredible leadership contribution, we will be able to expand our research sites and add another Southern California beach to our study locations. Thank you!
