Natural High's 12th Annual Sunset Splash Gala

Natural High, a national nonprofit committed to helping youth discover, amplify and pursue their natural high, will be hosting their 12th Annual Sunset Splash Gala at the La Jolla Torrey Pines Hilton, on October 6th, 2012, from 6:00PM -10:00PM.  This year’s honoree is professional surfer and star of Natural High 6, Bethany Hamilton.


Bethany has been selected as this year’s honoree because of her positive, drug-free example, and her dedication to the pursuit of her natural high. You may know Bethany Hamilton as the courageous young surfer who survived a life-threatening shark attack that claimed her left arm. You may even know her memoir, Soul Surfer, which was also made into a major box office hit starring Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt. But to Natural High, Bethany is a young woman whose passion for surfing, and spirited example of hope, courage, and dedication, represent the cornerstone of their mission. It is because of role models like Bethany, that Natural High is able to create a transformational platform from where they can inspire youth to say ‘YES’ to a natural high and ‘NO’ to drugs.


The gala will feature a fun and moving program the evening of October 6th, and will include an extensive silent and live auction. Funds raised at Natural High’s annual gala go directly to supporting the production and free nationwide distribution of the Natural High DVD Series. There is still time to be a sponsor, auction donor or purchase tickets.
