The event helps support the Pediatric Cancer Research Program at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the world-renowned hospital which focuses on discovering cures and safer, more effective treatments for childhood cancers. This was the 23rd year that the Nautica brand partnered as title sponsor. This year, it also brings deepened excitement to a unified community in the aftermath of the Woolsey Wildfires.

Since it was established, the Nautica Malibu Triathlon which is Executive Produced by Michael Epstein, has now raised over $15 million to benefit basic and translational cancer research programs at the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Dr. Alan Wayne of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles was on hand to accept the Malibu Nautica Triathlon Presented by Bank of America donation check during the awards ceremony. The awards ceremony was led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, NBA all-time leading scorer, and six-time NBA champion. At the 2019 awards presentation, the Nautica Malibu Triathlon presented a check to CHLA of an incredible 1,352,603 million dollars in funds raised. Bob Iger + team Disney presented CHLA with a check for $282,000 raised by their Triathlon team.

Later Sunday evening, CBS Anchor Demarco Morgan participated at the triathlon for the first time. Morgan said, “It's a great opportunity to get out and have fun. The Children's Hospital is a great place that provides amazing work for people.” Actor Paul Liberstein, known for his role in The Office, said, “I had a great time competing and taking part in a great cause!”

Nautica continues to be the official merchandise partner for the annual event creating performance tri-kits as well as participant tee shirts and commemorative tees for the event. Bold design concepts personify the fearless spirit of the competition so spectators and participants alike can continue to support the event in style throughout the year.
