The cause: Grind for Life cancer charity
January is Rob’s birthday month and he likes to celebrate no other way than paying it forward. Rob’s favorite charity is Mike Roger’s GrindforLife.org. Grind for Life helps people with cancer. Period. No 10K run, no pink corporate bullshit. Just one bad ass skateboarding cancer survivor handing straight up cash to families of cancer patients so they can travel for treatments. Mike travels the skate circuit year-round collecting funds and raising awareness. He also fucking rips after all the crap he has been through. Mike helped my family when we needed it the most. Thank you Mike!
The Raffle
The raffle is plain and simple. One virtual ticket for $5.00 or three for $10.00. You can buy however many tickets you can afford. Taxes will apply to AZ in-state purchases. Once purchased, your name will be hand-written on an actual raffle ticket for however many you purchased. Our goal is raise $1,000+ during the month of January and donate every cent to Grind for Life in the name of Mickey and Billy Lit, who were family friends to the Lockers. A winner will be picked on January 31. We will video and share the drawing.

The Prize
The prize is pretty fucking cool. ‘Prevent This Tragedy‘ Vol. 1 of 4 7″ Compilation from 2000. Pretty rare but not super rare. First off, who the hell was releasing vinyl in 2000? Element Records, that’s who. Secondly, this thing comes with CLEAR GRIP TAPE glued to the cover. Thirdly, purple marbled vinyl? Fuck yes! Fourthly, an insane ‘zine type booklet. Fifthly, comes with an actual photograph of a half pipe that is hand numbered in marker ’29/76’. The winner of the raffle will receive this killer prize shipping included, along with a sick Independent Truck Co. Windbreaker compliments of my homie Big Al Sessions! Also!….my buddy Dave from Focus Deck (@focusdeck) is donating two custom fitted rings he creates from used skateboards! Totally cool!
