Save the date, August 9th is the Skateboard for a Cure event to help raise money for the TJ Martell Foundation.

The event will allow thousands of kids to skate with pros, celebrities and others through the streets of Los Angeles finishing at Fairfax High School where there will be autograph signing, food, games and more.

Donations of $20 or more will receive a free event t-shirt.

The TJ Martell Foundation is a devoted to Leukemia, Cancer and AIDS research.

I know this is not an OC event, but it is close enough and is for a good enough cause to mention. If you can make this event, go.
