Ocean Shores, WA—
Bikinis, Football and Harleys? That’s right, combine all three and that makes it a Sun and Surf weekend. For the first time, The World Bikini Football Players will be at the Harley Davidson event in Ocean Shores on July 25. The girls will take pictures and sign autographs…all benefiting a good cause.

TWBFL has teamed up with Child United, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping impoverished children in third world countries further their education. The bikini girls will be taking pictures with participants, selling the photos with 25% of the proceeds benefiting Child United.

The organization is nothing new to a few members of TWBFL. A coach and football player serve as volunteer directors for the organization.

Maureen Francisco, a football captain and Media Director of Child United said, “I lived in a house with some 15 family members and we shared one bathroom in the Philippines. I didn’t realize we were poor until we came to America. Thanks to my parents’ commitment to make sure I see the value of continued education, so many doors have opened for me. I’m at a good place in my life. This is the least that I can do.”

TWBFL Coach Casey Hills got involved as Child United’s Internet Marketing Director. He says, "My best friend of nineteen years is Filipino. Through spending time with him and his family, I have developed an affinity for the Filipino people and their culture. When I was asked to join the team of Child United, I didn't have to think twice."

It goes to show that some heart can go a long way. The organization started by one person going on vacation to the Philippines. What the founder saw was something she couldn’t forget. Founder Christine Umayam said, “I couldn't go back to my normal way of life after seeing the faces of these kids.” She saw first-hand how poverty can destroy the future of young children.

The leadership team is dedicated to helping local charities further their cause. For more information about Sun and Surf, visit the website at: www.sunandsurfevent.com.
