On working with CURE, Jerome Fontamillas shares: "I had the incredible honor to go to the Philippines, not to play a show, but to visit a hospital operated by CURE. A hospital that specializes in treating children with orthopedic conditions. I was born in the Philippines and being Filipino made it that much more special to go back to my birth country. During this trip I had some pretty incredible experiences that I will cherish for as long as I live."

SWITCHFOOT is currently on tour with Relient K for "Looking for America: Part II & Looking for Canada." The tour kicked off in Fresno, CA on January 21st and concludes in Rochester, NY on February 18th.
