All of these pieces will be auctioned off to the highest bidder at the Night of a Million Waves Gala and Art Auction on Sunday, October 7, 2018 at the beautiful new Twin Dolphin Tower at the Waterfront Beach Resort – a Hilton Hotel. Your support is invaluable and helps us in our efforts to make our community and the world a better place! In 2014, the inaugural year of Surfboards On Parade, we raised more than $100,000 to help eradicate skin cancer. In 2016, the generosity of the many helped raise $115,000 in the continued fight against skin cancer, and to help the City of Huntington Beach fund the first ever universally accessible playground on the sand that opened on 9th and PCH earlier this year! In total there are 23 masterpieces created by legendary shapers collaborating with acclaimed artists. Every collaboration available is truly one-of-a-kind art that will be not only an increasing asset, but also a slice of history and a conversation piece of stunning art to enjoy for generations to come. Please take a moment to reflect on the power of your potential contribution to help eradicate skin cancer, and for this year’s community cause, to heal our most wounded veteran’s one wave at a time. We are so grateful for your consideration. Should you not be able to attend the Gala, proxy bids will be excepted.
