"\"&lt;p&gt;[IMAGE 1]&lt;P&gt;On September 6, 2003 the surf industry rallied together in support for Jason Bogle, who was recently diagnosed with a form of cancer known as Ewing&amp;#8217;s sarcoma. A full house of 1,500 packed into 4th &amp;#038; B in downtown San Diego and were treated to a rare and intimate blink-182 show\\u2014blink normally plays 40,000-seat arenas.&lt;P&gt;The night started with a preview of&lt;I&gt; The Union Blue Project: A Fundraiser For Our Friend Jason Bogle&lt;\\/I&gt;, a video-compilation that includes submissions from top surf-film producers, including Taylor Steele, Jack McCoy, Matt Gye, and Bill Ballard.&lt;P&gt;The first band of the night was Taking Back Sunday, which canceled a show from its tour and flew to San Diego to support a man they never even met. &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m just happy we can help,&amp;#8221; said Adam  of Taking Back Sunday.&lt;P&gt;The atmosphere was getting ramped-up by TBS&amp;#8217; rock, and by the time blink-182 came on it became a rock and roll love-fest! The capacity crowd was going nuts and having a blast, all while supporting a worthy cause. Both bands played for free, and Tom Delonge of blink-182 played on through a serious bout of pneumonia.&lt;P&gt;The night was a huge success and everyone at the show left with a feeling that they were part of the cure.&lt;P&gt;Many thanks to Atticus Clothing, FUEL, Wahoo&amp;#8217;s Fish Tacos, Hurley, Macbeth Shoes, &lt;I&gt;TransWorld SURF&lt;\\/I&gt;, and DC Shoes for their donations. &lt;B&gt;Big ups to Tim Curran and Kelly Slater, who both donated 10,000 dollars each of their own money.&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ewing&amp;#8217;s sarcoma is a rare bone cancer that, in many cases, the cause is unknown. For Jason, the cancer developed in his hip and is at a high risk of spreading rapidly. Because Jason was diagnosed in a late stage, he needs very specialized treatment. As a surfer with no health insurance, the action-sports industry hopes to raise the necessary funds.&lt;P&gt;Donations can be sent to:&lt;P&gt;Friends of Jason Bogle Cancer Fund&lt;P&gt;919 Sunset Drive&lt;P&gt;Costa Mesa, CA 92627&lt;P&gt;Contact Dana Messing for donations: (949) 903-1453&lt;P&gt;www.jasonboglefund.com&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
