I recently got contracted to document the future Tony Hawk Foundation celebrity fundraiser events.
In 2007, the exclusive event raised over $1-million for the Tony Hawk Foundation to further its work to bring high-quality, free, public skateparks to kids in low-income communities. Co-chaired by Tony Hawk, Lance Armstrong, Ron Burkle, Benicio Del Toro, Jon Favreau, Leeza Gibbons, Mat Hoffman, Jimmie Johnson, Robert Kotick, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bob McKnight, David Spade, Shaun White, The 1,000 guests enjoyed a family-centric carnival atmosphere, including games and activities, plus a Vert Demo by Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Andy Macdonald, Jean Postec, Mat Hoffman, and Kevin Robinson, and music by Me First And The Gimme Gimmes.
2008 will see me at this and the newly added event to be hosted by P. Diddy somewhere in the Hampton’s this summer.
