Hosted by Neptune’s Net Seafood Restaurant in Malibu, Surfrider Foundation’s Save Trestles Fundraiser will be held on Sept. 14 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
“It’s time that the communities of Orange County and beyond begin to make the environment a priority over growth and development. We must protect our natural resources for future generations to enjoy,” said Richard Woolcott, CEO of Volcom.
Sponsored by Budwieser and Pepsi Cola, surfers and environmental activists can enjoy free drinks from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. with a $5 minimum donation. Also, participants can buy $1 raffle tickets and possibly win surfboards, T-shirts and other prizes.
In addition, live music from ska musician Chris Murray will be played, followed by the upbeat reggae tunes from the San Diego-based band, Burnt. After sun down, the music of Magic Box will fill Neptune’s Net.
The goals of the fundraiser are to encourage surfers and environmental activists and the community at large to not only get the facts of the issue but also to take action.
Donations and support will further lead the Surfrider team to keep Trestles pristine and untouched.
All proceeds go to Surfrider Foundation National Headquarters located in San Clemente.
