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. Left: Event artist Matt Beard will create a special piece for the Luau.
