On July 31, 2010, Hamilton and Kalama will again serve as honorary co-chairman of the 3rd annual “Pipeline to a Cure.” Hamilton and Kalama have served in this capacity since the inaugural event in 2008, and have been instrumental in raising more than $750,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Jamie O'Brien, the undeniable frontrunner to the throne of Pipeline itself, has announced he will donate his Billabong Pipeline Master prize money to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Pipeline to a Cure campaign.

"We are in awe of how the surf industry has stepped up to support our cause," said Paul Motenko of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. "We have found new partners who truly understand CF and are willing to fight with us to find a cure."
