Mauli Ola Foundation Fundraiser

Aloha! On a beautiful evening in Laguna Beach we came out to give back to the less fortunate that have CF at the 3rd Annual Mauli Ola Foundation Fundraiser. I was so enlightened by all the generous people and sponsors that made this event a success.
Great music, food, friends and the best of all the survivors of this
terrible condition and we made a stand against it, to use surfing as a vessel of healing. God bless to all in attendance and I look forward to contributing more to this cause. Here are some of my images from this amazing event.

Mauli Ola Foundation Rocks the House with the The Stitches.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. – The Mauli Ola Foundation is having its 3rd fundraiser with a party featuring the Stitches on Saturday, September 5th, in Laguna Beach. Waterhouse, Deepwater and a special guest band will also be playing this all day event starting at 3:00pm. Come early to have fun and hang out with friends. This event will attract a full capacity of 200 people very quickly, so buy your tickets early. There will be many great raffle prizes from sponsors Ambry Genetics, Flexfit, Billabong, A-Med, Da Hui, the Wolfpak, the Mint, Laguna Surf&Sport, Surfing Magazine, Lost Energy Drinks, DMC Graphics, Volcom and Electric.

This event is being held to spread the word about the connection between Surfing and Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Education and awareness are key to help the fight against CF.

The Mauli Ola Foundation will use the proceeds to introduce children with genetic disease to the recreational and health benefits of surfing through its Surf Experience Day’s. One of the missions of the Mauli Ola Foundation is to get Children and Young Adults with Cystic Fibrosis out in the ocean surfing. It has been suggested in medical journal articles that Surfing is an actual treatment for Cystic Fibrosis. This is achieved by the salty ocean air being inhaled by CF kids and adults. The ocean air allows for the clearance of thick and sticky mucus that lines the lungs. James Dunlop, founder of the Mauli Ola Foundation, says, “After about ten years of working with Cystic Fibrosis at the Diagnostic Testing level at Ambry Genetics, my brother Charles and I (both lifelong surfers) decided to give back, that was the inspiration behind the Mauli Ola Foundation." Mauli Ola means Breath of Life from the ocean in Hawaiian.
