Surfing for Autism Event at Trio, Saturday July 21st

Posted Jul 17 2012 by Brent in Fundraisers with 0 Comments

Head to Trio this Saturday night (July 21st) for a great event to benefit our local Surfing for Autism group. Surfing For Autism helps raise awareness of autism/asperger’s on the Outer Banks. In the summer, it hosts an event where local surfers are partnered up with children who have autism/asperger’s and introduces them to paddling, surfing, and a new way to have fun in the sun. The Benefit will start at 7pm at Trio and will feature a silent auction, which is one of the groups main ways of funding their activities. The public is invited to attend. There is no fee to enter, though donations are welcome. If you have something that you would like to donate to the silent auction, please contact Trio asap (252.261.0277). Come hang out with local surfing crowd for a great evening of music and fun….for a great cause!

About the Author

BrentGrowing up as a kid in Virginia Beach, Brent has always been surrounded by water. Sailing, surfing, fishing and skateboarding were his passions and foundation that drew him near the ocean. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA and graduated with a Bachelor's in Communication Arts & Design. Having worked at several companies in Richmond as an Art Director, and living away from the ocean for about 10 years, he and his wife decided to make the move back East with their sights on the Outer Banks. With surfing being his favorite hobby, the Outer Banks was a perfect fit. In 2005, Brent headed back to a more familiar and welcoming beach community and now lives in Kill Devil Hills with his wife and 2 daughters. Brent has run a Graphic Design business (BN Design & Advertising) for over 12 years. Complimenting his Design business during the day, Brent is also an acoustic solo guitarist and plays gigs regularly on the Outer Banks and is also a board member of the Surfrider Foundation, Outer Banks Chapter.View all posts by Brent →
