Tommy Karafa Skate Day

Here is some info on the event..

The past two years people of Williamsburg have started a tradition of Tommy Karafa Skate Day. This is a yearly skate contest to honor our friend and neighbor Tommy Karafa who passed in a tragic car accident two years ago in Williamsburg, VA. This contest is to serve as a remembrance of him, as all profits go toward the Tommy Karafa scholarship fund to help underprivileged youths attend college. His father runs the fund and helps students with paying for the ever rising costs of furthering their education. Last year we had a great turnout of over 150 in attendance, with 30 participants in the contest. This year we hope to double that number by teaming up with Anti-Gravity Skateshop in Newport News, VA to bring the premier contest on the Peninsula. The contest has already gained the attention of some of the sporting enthusiasts, media, and skaters in Virginia, North Carolina, Washington D.C., and Maryland. We aim to both raise money for the fund as well as make it beneficial for our sponsors. The contest held on July 25th will be an all day affair with activities for everyone finishing with the contest in the late afternoon. We are looking for sponsorship from anyone willing to give. Since the contest is a non-profit we need prizes in any for form the winners, as well as any service that your company can provide during the day to make it a great event for everyone. We are looking for advertising help to promote the contest and day itself. Monetary donations are accepted on PayPal at our email: tkskateday@gmail.com. With a donation, your company will be included in all of the advertising for Tommy Karafa Skate Day. Also you will be included on the sponsor list and granted complimentary entry on the day of the event. As stated we want to make this day as beneficial as possible for all who are involved. We look forward to hearing from you for donations or input. Thank You for your time and help in making this day a great time for the community as well as benefiting a good cause.

We’ll have updated info on this event as soon as some details get ironed out.
