Luau, Legends, & Surf's Up Big

for UCSD Cancer Research!!

 

The 15th Annual Moores UCSD Cancer Center Luau and Longboard Invitational went off 'surfingly' August 24th, 2008 by the Scripps Institution Pier. Business biggies like Title Sponsor Pfizer, mixed in with supporters and cancer survivors. In fact not only did Pfizer have a corporate surf team of cancer researchers and administrators for this event, but they also sponsored a Thrivors Team - that's a team of cancer survivors like first time event participant Lorraine Schmalenberger.

Among the 700 plus people there were Christy Walton, she sponsors the Walmart Team, Event Co-Founder John Otterson and his family, Laura Shawver, legend surfers Debbie Beacham and Joyce Hoffman, Event Co-Chairs Tori Pitruzello and Ian Pyka, Nancy and Fred Borrelli's family, legend Wingnut, and legend Fernando Aguerre.

Fernando came in regular surf gear this day. A contrast to the week before when he wore a real, 70 pound plus Inca outfit to the Waterman's Ball.

But this day had cancer research as the focus.

This year's Rell Sunn Award recipient went to one such individual who epitomizes the aloha spirit of giving for cancer research.

Rell Sunn 'Queen of Makaha' with Pat Curren, copyright of The Social Diary and margomargo.com

Rell Sunn, the award's inspiration, was more than a surfer, and more than a person who battled breast cancer for almost two decades. She lived with grace, and the aloha spirit of giving. In fact Rell described that giving spirit simply. "You give and you give and you give … and give from here (the heart), until you have nothing else to give." And she did until her 15 year battle with breast cancer consumed her. But, at the Moores UCSD Luau & Longboard Invitational, her spirit goes on.

And Dr. Doris Howell, this year's recipient, fits the award description well. Dr. Howell heads up the Doris Howell Foundation for Research in Women's Health. Part of the Howell Foundation focuses on women's cancer research.

As such Dr. Doris Howell joins a list of distinguished Rell Sunn Award recipients. She is preceded by a list of other very worthy Rell Sunn Award recipients. They are: Dr. David Tarin, Bill Otterson, Dani Grady, Charles Gorder Sr., Dr. Mark Renneker, Dr. J. Craig Venter, Alex Szekely and Jon Greif, Georgia Sadler, Dr. Linda Olson.

Cheers to all they do.

Back surf side.....

Among the finalists for the surf contest were the UCSD Alumni Association, Wells Fargo Wealth Management Group, Molly Baber Research Fund, Quidel Corporation, and the Cahill Family Team. The Cahill Family Team won. But with aloha spirit pervading the mood, everyone felt like winners in the fight to eradicate cancer.

About the Moores UCSD Cancer Center

"Founded in 1979, UCSD Cancer Center was renamed the Moores UCSD Cancer Center in honor of the Moores’ leadership gift to the Center. The Center is one of just 39 in the United States to hold a National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. As such, it ranks among the top centers in the nation conducting basic and clinical cancer research, providing advanced patient care and serving the community through outreach and education programs. The center’s mission is to translate promising scientific discoveries into new and better options for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and the amelioration of pain.
