Announces its Continued Partnership with The Mauli Ola Foundation Supporting Cystic Fibrosis Affected Youth, make-a-wish 'Dream Wave' moment at Surf Ranch (CA)

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FLEXFIT® the world-renowned headwear brand, announced its continued collaboration with The Mauli Ola Foundation (MOF), a nonprofit organization committed to providing hope and confidence to individuals living with genetic diseases, at Surf Ranch, CA. The partnership supports the MOF's mission to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis and other 22genetic diseases, while promoting the therapeutic benefits of surfing; for individuals with cystic fibrosis, breathing in ocean air, rich in hypertonic saline, has been scientifically shown to provide therapeutic benefits.

As part of this ongoing 16-year partnership, the Mauli Ola Foundation and FLEXFIT® will join forces once again to provide hats and caps that promote the foundation and generate a valuable revenue stream for the charity. Most recently, support extended to one of the most revered surf events in the world, - Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch, where the brand and foundation joined together to bring Leo Griffith, a young man living with cystic fibrosis and MOF alumni, to experience his 'dream wave' at Slater's world-famous wave pool in Lemoore, California.  The event, a gathering of world-class surfers and supporters, was a bucket-list event for Leo and was a 'Make-a-wish 'request of his. Surf Ranch enabled MOF & FLEXFIT® to engage with the public and raise awareness about cystic fibrosis, which impacts over 70,000 people worldwide. It then gave Leo the once-in-a lifetime opportunity to surf proudly alongside some of the world's greatest surfers.
