Can art, fashion and music help save our favorite beaches? That's the idea benefit events like Billabong's Design for Humanity on June 4, 2008 are shooting for.
 
With 100% of ticket proceeds going towards the Surfrider Foundation, this second DFH event at Hollywood's Avalon/Spider Club promises to deliver a glossy, surf-star studded night of incredible art, photography, music by MGMT and a full-scale runway fashion show.

To kick off the night, surf artists like Wolfgang Bloch and Chris Jordan will have their pieces on display, beside images by some of the finest surf photographers in the industry. Everything on exhibit will be auctioned off throughout the evening, with all proceeds to benefit Surfrider Foundation. "This is an incredible melding of music, art, fashion and social responsibility," says Surfrider Foundation CEO, Jim Moriarty. "We are honored to be named as beneficiaries for this year's Billabong Design for Humanity event."

"It's an opportunity for us to celebrate fashion, music and art all the while giving back to an organization that preserves our way of life."
-- Candy Harris, Women's Brand Director at Billabong
From the beaches to the streets, and all styles in between, the entire spectrum of fashion will go strutting down the catwalk around 9:30 pm. Billabong has hired a handful of renowned clothing designers to create unique pieces for the show, all of which will be up for auction on eBay following the event, and once again, Surfrider Foundation will reap the benefits. "This event is a labor of love for our Brand," says Candy Harris, Women's Brand Director at Billabong. "It's an opportunity for us to celebrate fashion, music and art all the while giving back to an organization that preserves our way of life."

As the climax of this nocturnal affair, electro-pop group MGMT will be hitting the stage around 10 pm to throw down some captivating beats. DJ Steve Aoki, one of Los Angeles and New York's hottest DJs, will take over with delivering the sounds when MGMT conclude.
