Hard Rock Cafe San Diego teams up with Surfrider and makes donation to benefit the Foundation's local chapter
SAN DIEGO, CA, February 23, 2015 – Hard Rock Cafe San Diego joined forces with the Surfrider Foundation in an effort to raise funds for the protection and preservation of the world’s oceans, waves and beaches. As part of the exciting partnership, Hard Rock Cafe San Diego donated $1,500 to the local San Diego County Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, and also created a one-of-a-kind pin for fans and supporters to enjoy! The limited edition pin was designed by a Surfrider volunteer and features an image of a wooden surfboard and guitar with a ribbon on the bottom that reads: protecting our oceans, waves and beaches since 1984. Guests are encouraged to look out for Hard Rock Cafe’s newest Surfrider pin which will be available this spring.
“One of our core volunteers designed the signature pin to represent our love of surfing and music, and we couldn't be more excited about our partnership with Hard Rock Cafe San Diego to help raise awareness and funds for the cause,” said Haley Haggerstone, San Diego County Chapter Manager for the Surfrider Foundation. “We're even more stoked to be the beneficiary of Hard Rock Cafe’s upcoming ‘PinDiego’ event, where we'll have the opportunity to create another Surfrider Foundation pin!"
