FLEXFIT® and The Mauli Ola Foundation Team Up to Empower Cystic Fibrosis Youth Through Surfing

Continuing Support for Cystic Fibrosis Awareness

FLEXFIT®, globally recognized for its exceptional headwear, has reaffirmed its partnership with The Mauli Ola Foundation (MOF), a nonprofit dedicated to bringing hope to individuals affected by cystic fibrosis and other genetic disorders. This collaboration, now spanning over 16 years, emphasizes both awareness and the therapeutic benefits of surfing for those living with cystic fibrosis.

Located in Santa Monica, California, FLEXFIT® stands out not just for its innovative products but also for its commitment to social responsibility. The recent partnership event took place at the renowned Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California, where FLEXFIT® and MOF granted Leo Griffith, a young man battling cystic fibrosis, the chance to ride his "dream wave". This special moment was part of a larger initiative that involved top surfers and fans, aiming to spotlight the realities faced by over 70,000 individuals globally impacted by cystic fibrosis.

Healing Through Surfing

The Mauli Ola Foundation champions the idea that experiences in the ocean can positively influence the health of those with cystic fibrosis. The air rich in hypertonic saline, found near ocean waters, has been clinically proven to help cystic fibrosis patients, enhancing their breathing by alleviating the mucus that clogs their lungs. Through its Surf Experience Days program, MOF pairs young individuals with professional surf instructors, providing a unique setting where they can enjoy the ocean while benefiting from physical activity. Hans Hagen, Executive Director at MOF, stated, "Surfing has proven to be incredibly healing for people with cystic fibrosis. Our partnership with FLEXFIT® allows us to sustain these transformative experiences, whether at Surf Ranch or in local surf communities.”

A Unique Product Line

In alignment with MOF’s mission, FLEXFIT® has launched an ocean-friendly headwear line, featuring limited-edition styles inspired by the foundation's work. These hats not only promote the cause but also contribute financially; 100% of proceeds support MOF's programs, reflecting FLEXFIT’s dedication to environmental responsibility and community support. By purchasing these stylish caps, customers can make a significant difference while enjoying high-quality products from FLEXFIT®.

Join the Movement

To assist MOF in its mission, supporters can visit the foundation's website to purchase the ocean-friendly hats, learn about upcoming Surf Experience Days, or make direct donations. Each contribution helps sustain vital programs for cystic fibrosis patients, granting them opportunities for health, empowerment, and connections in a shared journey.

In sum, FLEXFIT® and The Mauli Ola Foundation demonstrate not just a partnership but a commitment to bettering the lives of individuals facing cystic fibrosis, showcasing the incredible power of community-supported initiatives in creating hope and change.
