LUAU AND LEGENDS OF SURFING INVITATIONAL
Surfing for a Cure
SUPPORTING UC SAN DIEGO MOORES CANCER CENTER
A fundraiser
like no other
NO IBALLROOMS. NO TUXEDOS. NO SHOES.
JUST A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED SURF CONTEST AND LUAU THAT WILL
HELP REDEFINE THE WAY WE TREAT AND DIAGNOSE CANCER.
The day begins at the beach below Scripps Pier with the
Legends of Surfing Invitational tournament, emphasizing
participation and support for the cause rather than
individual surfing ability. Each sponsored team, including
an assigned surfing legend, vies for traditional trophies.
The Luau starts after the tournament with more than
500 attendees enjoying live music and a tropical buffet.
Guests may participate in opportunity drawings; a silent
auction; or test their bidding skills against one another as
one-of-a-kind pieces of surf-inspired artwork, exceptional
surfboards and vacation packages are put up for live
auction — always a crowd favorite!
For more information about the event, please visit us
online at luauandlegendsofsurfing.org.

Billena Willis: Surfer, UC San Diego
Moores Cancer Center Patient,
Survivor
In 2013, Billena Willis got knocked
off her board by a cancer diagnosis.
She chose Moores Cancer Center
not only for its medicine, but also
for the caring team that serves
every patient and family during
the journey. Moores Cancer Center
helped her get back in the water
and on her board.
We need your help.
YOUR SUPPORT IS MORE
IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER.
All net proceeds from the Luau and Legends of Surfing
Invitational support research, teaching and clinical
programs at Moores Cancer Center. Every dollar fuels
progress toward a future where cancer is a diagnosis,
not a death sentence.

Cancer Center collaborates with many partners to:
• Conduct clinical trials
• Provide bone-marrow transplants
• Innovate leading-edge proton therapy
• Sequence the genome of every patient and
every tumor
• Lead the way in fighting health care disparities
among underserved populations
• Serve veterans and active military
