May 31st.

This event
was an opportunity for us to share with our Ojai community the importance of
the skate park and to show support for the children of Ojai, creating an event
that was free and only for children. It was a huge success. We had over 139
kids from ages 1 ½ to 19 who registered and participated in the
expression sessions.
More than
55 youngsters (mainly girls) signed up for the skate lesson section of the
event. Over 500 spectators visited the park throughout the day, making it one
of the most successful events put on in Ojai for children.

COUNTS!
Hannah
Greene of Ojai
celebrated her twelfth birthday by asking her guests to bring donations to the
skate park instead of gifts. She helped to raised $180.00 that day which was
matched by a generous anonymous donor and turned into a $360.00 donation to
SKATE OJAI.
The
Ojai Valley School Surf Team donated $630.00 dollars by having a fundraiser.
Over
fifteen employees at Patagonia’s headquarters in Ventura baked treats and had a SKATE
& BAKE fundraising bake sale for SKATE OJAI in the cafeteria at lunch. In one hour they sold $320.00 worth of baked
goods. Patagonia
matched the $320.00 since SKATE OJAI is a non-profit 501c3; those two donations
were once again matched by the anonymous donor bringing the bake sales total
to:
$ 1280.00. Now that’s a bake sale!
Copper
Clark of Ojai set
up a table at the Ojai Farmers Market for donations to the skate park. She
raised $250.00 that day.

When it comes down to
making things really happen, grassroots efforts are how things get done. Groups
of people trying to reach a common goal benefit from the qualities and skills
of the individuals in the group. Thank goodness we have Ojai resident and skate
park supporter since she was a teen, Tania Al-Awar. She owns her own website business here in Ojai www.dogsflydesign.com. She has dedicated
countless hours starting, building and maintaining our website to help keep our
community connected and updated about our goal to complete the in-ground
concrete skate park.
June
25th. 2008
At this
point with just 5 days left to reach our goal of over a quarter of a million
dollars on our own, we did all we could and thanks to some really wonderful
local people and businesses we had another successful event to raise money for
the skate park.
Antonio’s
Mexican Restaurant
in Ojai offered to host a fundraising dinner to support the SKATE OJAI. We had
so many great donations for our silent auction that the evening was a huge

MIXED
MESSAGE SKATE ART SHOW at the VILLAGE JESTER in Ojai
June
28th. , 2008
Just three
days after the SKATE OJAI dinner and silent auction we were already putting
together an art show at The Village Jester. By this evening we were down to the last two days
to reach the goal of $350,000 in 6 months.
A big
thank you goes out to Dave and Joanna England for organizing the event with
Curator and talented skate photographer Desiree Astorga, Gregg Witt of Premise Marketing and Hurley to organize a one of kind Skate
Art Show in Ojai to raise funds for the skate park. The art show consisted of a
solid collection of some of the worlds most respected skate artist and
photographers. This was a real treat for our small town.
Thanks’ to
the owner of The Village Jester, Nigel who hosted the event this evening and extended the
show for one month at his restaurant to continue the awareness for the need to
build a new skate park in Ojai. Check out www.Hurley.com
“Mixed Message” blog for more photos of the event and art work.
It took
four volunteers two days to hang over 80 pieces of art and photography. Several
of the artists donated 100% of the sale of the art to SKATE OJAI all the others
donated a generous 40%-50% of the sales to SKATE OJAI.
The
evening was a great success. We were treated to a life music performance by
skate legend Ray Barbee and a full house of supporters, which included the Hurley’s amateur
skate team on the opening night.
Once
again, Tania Al-Awar surprised us at the end of the evening with a $ 16,000 donation from
The
Bruce and
Marilyn Wallace Charitable Giving Foundation to SKATE OJAI. This very generous donation put us
over the $350,000 goal.
We would
like to give a special thank you to the owners of The Copper House and Glen Muse Estate for donating lodging for several
of the artists who attended the art show from out of town.
Mixed
Message Skate Art show featured the works of these talented artist and
photographers.

SKATE TEAM CELEBRATES AT THE WORLD FAMOUS DEER LODGE
July 2nd.
2008
By now we
had reached our goal and it was time to celebrate!
Lisa
Kenton a huge
skate park supporter and the owner of the world famous Deer Lodge found out about the Ojai High
School Skate Team’s accomplishments at the NHSSA Finals in Santa Monica at the
Red Bull headquarters on June 28th. and offered to treat all the
skate team members to a special dinner at the Deer Lodge. The dinner was well
attended and the food was fabulous.
Just by
chance Eric Koston
one of the best professional skateboarders in the industry was in town for a
wedding and having dinner at the Deer Lodge at the same time. We introduced
Eric to the Ojai high school
skate team, took a group photo, told him about our efforts over the last six
months to raise money for a new in-ground skate park and got some autographs.

THINGS JUST KEEP HAPPENING!
Five days
after we saw Eric Koston at the Deer Lodge I received a surprise call from him. He had looked up my
number on our website www.ojaiskatepark.com which is on the Ojai Skate Team
sticker we gave him that night and read about all the efforts to raise money
for the skate park and wanted to donate all the proceeds from a Charitable Golf
Tournament that he was organizing and participating in on July 8th.

OJAI’s 4th. Of JULY PARADE
L.A.
X-GAMES
JULY
31, 2008
Two of the
Ojai High School Skate Team members competed in one of skateboarding’s most
prestigious events at the X-Games in L.A.’s Staples Center.
Due to
their performances during spring competition, Zander Gabriel and J.T. Erickson both qualified to compete against
the top high school skateboarders in California.
Gabriel,
17 will be a senior at Nordhoff High School this year and Erickson, 17 will be
a senior at Chaparral High School.
Sixteen
skaters were given 15 minutes to skate the same street course as the
professionals. They were judged on their use of the entire course, technical
skill, degree of difficulty and style. Both boys hit the course hard. Of the
16, they chose six finalists. Gabriel was one of those six finalists who then
were asked to hit the course yet again.
When it
came time for the awards, Gabriel placed second. Thirteen Ojai supporters were
there to root the boys on for the big day and congratulate them both.
Gabriel
credits the Ojai Skate Park for some of his success. “The Ojai Skate Park was a
great place for me to learn when I was younger.”
