This year, for the 6th Annual Pipeline to a Cure Gala benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF), HG Photocloth was proudly used in the making of the event surfboard.
Pipeline to a Cure is an annual event held to raise money and awareness for sufferers of Cystic Fibrosis. It grew from the idea to spread awareness of a discovery made by Australian researchers, that children suffering from CF who surfed regularly had significantly better lung health. We now know that the salty air is medically beneficial to CF patients and surfing provides the added benefit of exercise.
As guests, we enjoyed an evening of celebrity entertainment, fabulous food and spectacular silent and live auctions. The annual galas have collectively raised $800,000 to date. In addition CFF and Pipeline to a Cure supporters often organize regular surfing trips for children with CF.
Special guests included Mike & Christine Ness, Laird Hamilton, Tony Hawk, Gabrielle Reece, Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), Jason Lezak, Lisa Andersen, Tom Curren, Dave Kalama, Robert August, and Chuck Patterson, with performances by Mike Ness and the Kalama Brothers.
