Some of the hottest names in young Hollywood, action sports and music came out to support Billabong’s annual Design for Humanity fashion, music and art fundraising event, which benefitted the Chipotle Cultivate Foundation, an organization dedicated to a new foundation aimed at supporting people, organizations and institutions that are committed to a better, more sustainable future through their work to improve individual family farms, the environment, as well as youth and education programs.

Sophia Bush, Kristen Bell, and Glee stars Matthew Morrison, Lea Michelle, Darren Criss and Heather Morris, who stopped by after shooting an episode of Glee on the Paramount lot, were spotted jamming to Walk the Moon, which Michelle tweeted was one of her favourite bands. Morrison stayed to see his girlfriend model in the Billabong fashion show; Shawn White was hanging out with other pro-athletes before he left for London to go to the Olympics the next day.
