SIMA hosted the seventh annual Liquid Nation Ball Saturday, August 14, at Reef Co-Founder Fernando Aguerre’s La Jolla home, exceeding its fundraising goal of $200,000. The event, held as part of the festivities during San Diego’s ASR trade show, honored Grammy award-winner Jason Mraz as this year’s Humanitarian of the Year for his work with the Life Rolls On organization. Aguerre, who boasts one of the best private surfboard collections in the world, hosted the live auction featuring one-of-a-kind items such as NBA courtside tickets next to former pro Bill Walton. The evening capped off with dancing, live music, and an open bar.
“Now in its seventh year, Liquid Nation Ball consistently amazes me each year as it has grown not only in the amount of fundraising support raised, but as a night where the party gets better and more exciting each year,” said Aguerre. “Liquid Nation Ball is fueled by a passion for helping others through surfing. I look forward to honoring each of our 13 amazing beneficiaries by raising support for their inspirational work and programs.”
