Partying for a cause

"...For every good cause there's an even better party that can be thrown on its behalf," states Billabong's event description of its 6th annual Design For Humanity festival. Cheers to that - this mission statement basically sums up our feelings about how things should operate in the world. 

The night of July 25th will be filled with fashion, music, and art; there will be models on a lit runway, inspired by and surrounded by art, to the beats of a live band. We've actually been lucky enough to see Walk The Moon, one of the bands on the line-up, live before and thus can testify to amazing time that this event will be for everyone there. 

So, how does Billabong translate a good time into benefiting a good cause?
Every year, Billabong picks a non-profit organization to dedicate its profits from their events to. This year's is Chipotle's Cultivate Foundation (and we thought that the best thing about Chipotle was their burritos...). The Cultivate Foundation is an initiative by Chipotle to create and maintain healthful food supply and awareness about food issues; over the course of its operations, it has dedicated over 2 million to fund sustainable agriculture practices, culinary education, and other innovations that nurture good food and good eating.

We would love to go mingle if it wasn't across the country - California dreaming. If any of you end up mingling amongst the thousands, let us know! Till then, we'll just be jamming out in the east coast to Anna Sun by WTM. (P.S. - shout out to Eunice for giving us a heads up about this event, we love tip-offs!)

Always looking into the meré,
