Giving Back
Preserving the Stories That Shaped Santa Cruz
At Lost Cruz, our mission goes beyond creating apparel. Every design we produce is inspired by the people, places, and moments that helped shape the unique history of Santa Cruz County.
We believe these stories deserve to be remembered, preserved, and shared with future generations. That's why we're committed to giving back to the community that inspires everything we create.
Our Commitment

These contributions help support efforts such as:
- Historical preservation projects
- Local museums and archives
- Educational programs
- Community heritage initiatives
- Historical research and documentation
- Preservation of significant landmarks and cultural sites
Why It Matters
History connects us to the people and places that came before us. As Santa Cruz continues to grow and evolve, preserving its heritage becomes increasingly important.
Every forgotten building, local business, photograph, and personal story represents a piece of the community's identity. By supporting preservation efforts, we help ensure these stories remain accessible for future generations.
How Your Purchase Helps
Every purchase made through Lost Cruz directly supports our preservation mission. When you shop with us, you're doing more than buying apparel—you're helping keep Santa Cruz's history alive.
Together, we can uncover forgotten stories, celebrate local heritage, and preserve the unique character that makes Santa Cruz special.
Thank you for helping us rediscover what has been lost.
Wear the story. Preserve the history. Give back to the community.
