Andre Genovesi makes it happen at Hurley HQ
Father's Day? Go Skateboarding Day? BBQ? All that is good, but this year, it included skateboarding, barbecue, music and helping the Next Up Foundation. My good friend Vina had a foundation in Brazil that helped poor kids to skateboard and helped them to start a new life through skating.
So here, we started the BBQ at the Hurley Skatepark with a dream to raise money to start the foundation in the US. And after 50 pounds of tri-tip and music from the band Mother Boys featuring Sam G and all the donations, we gathered all the money needed to get this going.
Thanks to Hurley and all the people who believed in Vina's dream. Keep your eyes open. Next Up Foundation is going to do big things. — Andre
