A night of inspiration and entertainment, the event will be hosted by 'The Roast Master' himself Jeff Ross, alongside Eddie Vedder, Kelly Slater and friends.

California State Parks-Orange Coast District and the San Onofre Parks Foundation are excited about this opportunity for a fundraising event, specifically focused on the protection and enhancement of public recreational resources along the California coast. It is their mutual mission to preserve these world treasures for the citizens of California.
