All proceeds from this event will go towards A Glassy Day’s Surf to Smile Project, with a special viewing of the Surf to Smile Story on the night.
Featuring the award winning movie Hidden Figures, the untold story of three visionary African-American women who overcame incredible odds to carve out careers in the male-dominated world of 1960s Nasa and play a key role in the Space Race.
At the time, getting to work at Nasa was a near-impossible achievement for African-Americans – let alone female ones. Yet through their determination, tenacity and undeniable talent these pioneering mathematicians quickly made an indelible mark, with huge contributions that thrust the space program forward, changed the course of history and made an undeniable case for equal rights.
