DJ's Day May 22nd in Omaha

[curtis]

Yo Bullets, a friend of a friend of mine lost her son a few in 2006 to a skateboarding accident. No helmet. DJ was 13 when his life was cut short.
Since that time Lisa has had the event "DJ's Day" every year at different locations around Omaha. Triple 8 is involved for free helmet giveaways (super cool company) and to date they have given out over 1000 helmets.

If you can make it on the 22nd, I know that Lisa and Don would be deeply moved to have skaters coming from so far away to help honor their lost son.

It is at the newly opened Seymour Smith Skatepark in Omaha Nebraska from 1 to 3 pm. Free hot dogs, drinks, cupcakes, tee shirt giveaways, helmet giveaways and just pure fun.

Hope to see some of you there. Lisa is supposed to be sending me a flyer and I will post it when I get it.

Here is the layout of the park. There are some videos and pics around the net. The old park that was there was all ramps...now it is all concrete!

Thanks for the post curtis. Very Sad but very cool how they've taken a negative and turned it positive. I'm already out of commision for that Saturday unfortunately.

PM for you curtis
