Give it Up
August 20th Benefit Slated to Support the Skate Community's Jim Muir
August 18, 2009. Venice The local skate community has pulled together to host an A-class benefit for one of their own: Jim Muir who broke his neck in a surf accident at Westward Beach in Malibu.
Muir, who owes his life to a quick-acting 12-year-old girl who noticed him floating face down in the water last spring, writes of the ordeal with terrifying clarity at the website dedicated to spreading the news of the benefit.
Read it. It's a life changer.
The Thursday night, August 20 benefit will raise funds to help pay for Muir's severe injuries. It will include an auction featuring a plethora of decks, art and other tasty items by C.R. Stecyk, Lance Mountain and Chad White and other friends.
The $10 donation at the door (not even enough to cover a co-pay at the drugstore) makes it impossible not to attend. + there's a special showing of Dogtown and Z-Boys. If you can't make it to the event, contribute online care of the site linked at the end of the story.
Be there. Thursday August 20. The Air Conditioned Supper Club. 625 Lincoln Blvd. Doors open at 7:30PM... Bring your kids to see the 8PM showing of Dogtown. Alleged Adults only after the end of the film.
