For the 11th consecutive year, Cymer surfers competed in the UCSD Moore's Research Center Luau and Longboard Invitational "Surfing For a Cure." Alongside some of San Diego's other top companies, Cymer volunteers helped raise funds for the UCSD Cancer Research Center. Many of surfing's great legends joined the surf team in the water as well as at the luau, where Cymer donated a custom surfboard to the silent auction that contributed a large amount toward the nearly $400,000 that was raised through this great event.
Continuing another sporting tradition to raise valuable research dollars, more than 40 Cymer employees and friends competed in fast-paced free throw shooting at the 2009 Cymer Shoot To Cure. This high profile event raises funds and awareness for the Huntington's Disease Society of America. The HDSA and Cymer partnered for the 3rd consecutive year, with over 600 people in attendance and more than $75,000 raised in the fight against Huntington's Disease. The 2009 event marked the most successful Shoot To Cure in HDSA history.
And in one of the most popular events of the year, Team Cymer had over 50 walkers in action at the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. Cymer's team was truly inspired in 2009, as they far exceeded the $30,000 target. The passionate group was joined by nearly 25,000 other San Diegans, setting a new record for the largest group of walkers in the event's history.
