Switchfoot

Switchfoot gears up to host the Switchfoot Bro-Am Presented by Hurley on June 18 at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, CA. The surf contest and beach concert is the centerpiece in a weekend of activities conceived by the band to give back to their local community and benefit the San Diego and Oceanside chapters of StandUp For Kids, a national nonprofit volunteer outreach organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of at-risk, homeless and street kids. The line-up for the concert will be announced soon.
While admission to the beach event is free, funds will be raised at an Auction Night Soiree (set for June 16 at a private residence), as well as through sponsorships, beach vendors and an after-party held on the evening of June 18th at the Belly Up Tavern in nearby Solana Beach (tickets on sale next week).
"The Bro-Am has been my favorite day of the year ever since we started it back in '05," says Switchfoot's Jon Foreman. "To see our hometown come together to help out a deserving group of kids is an incredible experience. The StandUp Kids are true survivors, unsung heroes who have endured so much. The Bro-Am is our chance to celebrate their journey: a day at the beach with friends, surfing, and a little rock and roll. Last year was our biggest year ever, and we hope to top it again this year."
