Tom Curren at Sandbar

Monday, April 20, 2009

This Wednesday, April 22nd, Tom Curren and Friends will perform at the Sandbar Restaurant to benefit the The Invisible Children. This is a pre-benefit party of the Global Awareness Showcase at SBCC on April 25th.

This benefit precedes Invisible Children's nine country, one hundred city rally on April 25th, 2009 aimed to bring attention to the plight of the children abducted and forced to fight as soldiers in Central East Africa. The rally participants will be asking governments and international bodies to develop a strategy and support existing efforts to rescue the child soldiers abducted by the LRA. Santa Barbara is selected to be one of the one hundred cities to showcase this global initiative.

With thousands of dollars worth of surf hardware and merchandise to be given away and auctioned off including a surfboard signed by Curren and a Stand-up Paddleboard with paddle donated from sponsors, this benefit party will be non-stop. The evening's fundraising efforts will include a silent auction, poster/picture signing, raffle give-away, guest bartending by major surf celebrities, drink specials and live music with Tom Curren and a special surprise guest!
