The Beautifully Flawed Foundation produces events that inspire, shares stories of hope, and provides hope to traumatic amputees.

Our mission is to encourage a broken world and offer hope to overcome through Jesus Christ. We believe there is a longing within every individual to overcome the trials, pains and difficulties of life.

With a vision to establish individuals to be overcomers in Christ, the family and friends of Bethany Hamilton, a world-class professional surfer who lost her arm to a shark bite at the age of 13, formed the Beautifully Flawed Foundation a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

We believe that in every individual there are three core pillars in accomplishing this.

Stories of Hope

From hosting three retreats this year, we witnessed both our Beautifully Flawed and Forge attendees experience so much healing, realize that there is no obstacle too great for them to overcome, and make friendships that will last a lifetime. Finding a place in their stories to impact others whose stories are still being written gives purpose to keep moving forward. Be inspired by these amazing stories.

The Beautifully Flawed retreat completely changed my life for the better back in 2019. When I say that, I mean this was the event that completely changed my perspective on life, I started really working towards a healthier lifestyle that was more Christ-centered.
