PRESS RELEASE – The Venice Surf and Skateboard Association is pleased to announce that the VSA will be participating in the The Abbott Kinney festival. Founded by VSA Executive director Ger-I Lewis to promote surfing and provide an alternative to the gang warfare that had claimed many young lives on the streets of Venice. The Sept 28th event, the 4th anual ‘Venice Throwdown’ will be a Pro/Am street style competition. Skater divisions will include: Team, sponsored am, unsponsored am and pro. A cash purse of $500 will be offered in the pro/am division. Sponsors will be allowed a ’10×10′ booth space and vending will be allowed at both events. Sponsor’s logos will be printed on a limited edition t-shirt as well. The VSA is a non-profit organization. Contributions are tax deductible(501c). All proceeds go to funding youth programming (skateboard/surfing contests,skate/surf trips, job training, etc.) The VSA values your interest and participation. Thank you Ger-I Lewis – Venice Skateboard Association.
