We are excited to have partnered with Quiksilver Foundation and Redux Studios to produce the Finding Pura Vida TShirt release party.

We have taken artwork from children at Casa De Suenos, an orphanage in Costa Rica, and applied it to shirts donated by the Quiksilver Foundation in order to create a unique fundraising program.

These are the same children that we support each year via our Pura Vida No Pro surf contest. You can learn more, and see the tshirt designs, at puravidanopro.com.

September 19th 2007 The Finding Pura Vida TShirt program was a huge success. Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting our event. Special thanks to Quiksilver Foundation, Grasshopper Surfboards, Redux Studios, Woody's Pizza and Palmetto Brewery. We are nearly sold out of shirts!

All told we raised over $8,000 (and counting) for the children at Casa De Suenos!
