John Wayne Cancer Foundation
is partnering with KB4C for 2008 in a huge way! In addition to event support, they are providing athletes with Team Duke packets, sunscreen, and quick-dry Asics water jersies for the 6-hour Kite Derby Endurance Race. JWCF embraces the passion and energy in the kiteboarding community and action sports in general to do something good in the world... and we like that!
