TraMi Skin Care Teaming up with Grind Out Hunger for the Holidays

Categories:
TRAMI

Teaming up with businesses is always a pleasure. We were contacted by TraMi Skin care, asking if she could donate 10% of her sales from the months of November and December to Grind Out Hunger. She liked the idea of helping out a program that focused on the youth. How rad is that!?
www.tramiskincare.com has products, gift certificates, and more. Check it out and buy a gift for yourself or a friend for the holidays!

Here is a quick note from TraMi…

We are excited it is the Holiday Season again.  Each year we give back to our community by donating a portion of our proceeds to a great cause.

This year, Grind Out Hunger is our pick! It is an organization “created by skateboarding kids to help kids fight hunger.” How great is that? During the months of November and December, 10% of all TraMi Skin Care’s sales will go towards Grind Out Hunger, benefiting Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County.

Support this great cause by purchasing gift certificates, facials, and products.

Thank you in advance for all your support.

Noah Gabay Speaks to Orchard School on Behalf of Grind Out Hunger

Categories:
ORCHARD1

Orchard School

We were approached by Noah Gabay a couple months ago. For his Bar Mitzvah he is required to complete a certain amount of community service hours he wanted to help out with local non-profit that he would be able to continue helping once his community service hours were completed. We first thought about putting him to work at our warehouse, sorting food or stuffing envelopes to send out to the community. This wasn’t what Noah wanted to do, he wanted to be more active and play a lead role in the fight against hunger. Noah told us that he wanted to present to kids on behalf of Grind Out Hunger. He wanted to stand up in front of groups and ask his peers to help him fight food insecurity within Santa Cruz County and beyond.

Thrilled, we quickly set up a meeting with Noah and went over facts, tips, and ideas for how a presentation would look. He took all of the info we threw at him, absorbed it, studied it and put it to perfect use. He presented to Orchard School last Thursday morning. We went along with him to show our support, but he did all the talking. The next day we received an email from the school requesting for materials to run a food drive. Noah has put Orchard School on the map this year for Grind Out Hunger. We cant wait to see what this school can do!

Big shout out to Noah for doing this. We hear that Noah is going to continue speaking to classes and schools around the county. We will be sure to keep you all updated as he continues to help spread the word of Grind Out Hunger. Be sure to check out the YouTube video we embedded below of Noah presenting to Orchard School.

If you would like to help out Grind Out Hunger in any way, please feel free to send us an email:

Grind Out Hunger Now Equipped with 48ft Trailer!

Categories:
GOH_TRUCK_MOCK

Grind Out Hunger is now equipped with a NEW trailer. Why do we need this large trailer, you ask? Well about a year ago we hand built a bunch of awesome skateboard ramps. These ramps have been transported to our skate events with help from Arenas Towing. The crew from Arenas Towing was always so cooperative, helpful, and efficient but the time has come for us to upgrade to our own personal equipment.
We now have our own trailer that we will be able to use to store and transport our ramps.

The first time we will be able to put this trailer to the test will be on October 8th for our 2nd Annual Skate-A-Thon at Twin Lakes Church.

The trailer is currently plain white. A blank canvas. Ready for artwork. Anyone have ideas for how we should design the trailer???
Let us know in comments below or send us a suggestion on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/grindouthunger

See you at the Skate-A-Thon on the 8th!

Quick sample of what we could have the trailer look like...

 

Suggestions for artwork?

Limited Edition Fury 66/Jimbo Phillips Collaboration Deck

Categories:
Fury66_Shield


We sat down with Fury 66 and Jimbo Phillips a while back and brought up the idea of having a skateboard deck created specifically for the Fury 66 reunion show to benefit Grind Out Hunger. Everyone was amped about the idea and immediately began brainstorming designs. We knew we wanted to have images of each band member on the board as well as the Fury 66 Shield. Throw some food graphics in the mix and some “Grind Out Hunger” font and we were set. Jimbo Phillips got to work immediately and came back to us with this creation.

This deck is perfect as a collectable or to slap some grip tape on and start shredding.
These decks are Limited Edition. Only 100 of them will be made.

The deck will be available at the 9/10/11 Fury 66 show, online, and at the Santa Cruz Skate and Surf Shop at 912 41st Ave in Santa Cruz.

See you at the show on September 10th! More info about it here: Fury 66 Show to Benefit Grind Out Hunger
