Luau and Legends of Surfing Invitational
Now in its 21st year, the Luau and Legends of Surfing Invitational has raised more than $6 million to help transform cancer prevention, detection, and care at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. The fundraiser kicks off at 7am on Sunday, August 17, near Scripps Pier with a surfing tournament, where teams of four are paired with a surf legend. The luau follows at noon with live music, traditional Polynesian dancing, auctions, and a tropical buffet. The program closes with the presentation of the Rell Sunn Award. The 2014 honoree is Napoleone Ferrara, MD, a world-renowned molecular biologist credited with helping decipher how tumors grow. (858.534.4289, www.luauandlegendsofsurfing.org)
