By now, promoter Pete Welch should have found his way to your e-mail inbox concerning Saturday’s Vashon Throwdown, a daytime concert fundraiser benefiting Burton Adventure Recreation Center. Whether or not you can make it, the donation is a suggested $10 though all amounts are welcome. Needed is a sum of $4,000 to meet hard costs for improvements.
This young fellow, Zach, incoming 7th grader at McM, is donating his new Sector 9 youth skateboard to be live auctioned during the event. He rode it for two hours–it is essentially pristine and ready for some skater to shred it to toothpicks as the board rightly should be! The retail value is $150, and sitting in a child’s closet it does nothing but gather dust. So somebody out there spread the word there’s an awesome skateboard to be had in which ALL the funds will go to BARC. That’s love, people! Thank you, Zachy (from mama).
