On Saturday, May 4, 2013, join Paddle Board Bliss and team “Shore House” as we Stand Up for the Cure and fight the good fight against breast cancer. The second annual fundraising event at Newport Dunes in Newport Beach, California supports the Orange County Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. This means that every $125 raised will potentially save a life by enabling a mammogram. Entry fee for the event is $35 per person. Click here to join team “Shore House” by Bliss ~ your entry fee includes a Ruth Chris lunch, Kona beer garden, Victory Core Dry Jersey, live music, and goodies! Register by May 1, and you will also receive a pink rash guard from Victory Koredry.

The event is from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with a clinic by top international paddlers, including Stand Up for the Cure ambassador Zane Schweitzer. Irvine’s Ruth Chris Steakhouse will provide lunch, and Barefoot Wines and Kona Brewing Company will sponsor a happy hour that will have live music by Wheeland Brothers and Crimson Crowbar. Paddle Board Bliss will be leading Bliss Paddle Yoga demos, as well as have a booth, so stop by and say hello! The event will take place at Newport Dunes, visible from Pacific Coast Highway, and will have a paddling course that will wind through the scenic harbor with a sea of pink paddlers.

Last year’s event was incredibly successful; over $60,000 was raised for the purpose of providing early mammograms to women who may not be able to afford them. This year an even bigger turnout is expected- so snag your spot to help us out as we gather together to “Have Fun and Save Lives!”
