My wife and I have locked down a location for the Fundraiser. We spoke with Rich at Norcal Mastercraft in Pleasanton to see if we could have the fundraiser there and he was totally stoked on the idea. We got backing from some companies and we are going to get more. So far we've got DPC Films, CIRE, Hyperlite, CWB, Metal Mulisha, Alpinestars, Monument, Organics Clothing, O'neill, and Inner Laced Clothing.

Here are the details so far. I will have more details soon and should have a flyer done soon as well.

Fundraiser for Colby
When: Oct 13th
Where: Norcal Mastercraft in Pleasanton, CA
Why: To help Colby's family raise funds for Colby's medical bills.

100% of the funds raised will be for Colby's fund!

If you would like to donate product to the fundraiser please feel free to email me at arunfrances@yahoo.com or call my celly cell (650)438-0412

If you don't know about Colby, please read this discussion.

that's kick ass! I can't believe you got backing from all those big name companies. I'd love to come but definitely too far from me. I'm sure you guys will do great for Colby and his family.

big props guys.

Anyone thought about putting on another in the Dallas area? I'm sure the local support would be huge. Like i said, big props for bringing this together.

I realize there may be some logistical issues since most companies are west coast based. But I also know that there are lot of Tx riders that won't have a chance to be there.

Does anyone know if he is going to make it? It seems like he got hurt a while ago. I haven't seen any major updates regarding his condition. Just hoping that someone has some good news!

We are encouraging everyone that can make it to come out for this. We are going to have a raffle, videos, food, etc...

I know many of us would and do drive hours to go ride or to watch a contest. How about driving hours for a good cause that truly is going to make a difference? Come on, lets do it!

Doesn't look like I'm gonna be able to make this one unfortunately. Arun, I'll shoot you a PM to get an address that I can send some gear to for the raffle.

my thoughts are there, but too far for me. have you thought about adding a special "out of state" raffle for this? then those out of state who can't actually make it could help the cause too?

Kylie, that could work. The only thing is that the product won by someone out of state would have to be shipped and if it is a wakeboard it can get pricey. Just thinking out loud : ) Let me know what you were thinking. Always open to ideas and suggestions.

Also, we just got another donation sponsor shawkboardgear.com

Arun, where are you sending the funds collected? Can you PM me with info? I collected money from July from the site to donate as promised but can't seem to find where to send a check. Let me know.

OnlyInboards... I sent you a PM.

Arun - never thought about the heavy stuff! (probably cuz i never win anything!) maybe it could be made clear that the out-of-state raffle winner would win a t-shirt or other small item like that which can just be stuck in a manila envelope for a few dollars postage.
