The Surf Fest and Chip Miller Charitable Foundation (www.chipmiller.org) were created in memory of Chip Miller in 2004. Miller died just a few short months after he was diagnosed with amyloidosis. In his memory, his family and friends founded the organization to empower people with the knowledge and understanding of amyloidosis — for earlier detection, ensuring a better quality of life for those afflicted with the disease, and to help science find the cure.
For the first time this year, the Fest partnered with Waves of Caring, an Ocean City organization that has assisted close to 90 local families, bringing support and hope to nearly 200 children from the Ocean City area.
