Stoked Action Sports Youth honors Rob Dyrdek with Spirit Award at "Stoked Spirit of the Holidays"
November 20, 2009
PRESS RELEASE
The holidays are a time give back to those in need and Stoked Mentoring continues to echo this sentiment with their inaugural Los Angeles fundraising event "Stoked Spirit of the Holidays." Bringing together more than five hundred celebrities, athletes, action sports supporters and musicians this year's event will take place at the Milk Studios on December 5th, 2009 from 7pm-11pm.
Entering it's fourth year in Los Angeles, the mission of Stoked Mentoring is to empower disadvantaged youth through combining the power of mentoring with the activity of non-traditional sports. Hosted by E! Network's and ESPN's X Games commentator Sal Masekela, the event is designed to celebrate and honor the mentors, mentees, and supporters in and out of the action sports industry while cultivating financial support for the rapidly growing Stoked Mentoring programs.
By nearly doubling the number of mentoring pairs Stoked provides each year and with a new after-school program in Los Angeles slotted for 2010, Stoked continues to need the support of donors to serve the children of under-resourced neighborhoods.
This year, Stoked Mentoring is also proud to present the inaugural "Stoked Spirit Award" to professional skateboarder and philanthropist Rob Dyrdek whose contributions to skateboarding and the community is reflected through his tireless non-profit work. The holiday event will feature music from KCRW's own Garth Trinidad, an award winning DJ, who will no doubt bring a set of masterful urban alternative music to the soiree. Additionally, jazz- infused LA darlings Big Moves (www.myspace.com/bigmovesband) will keep the night moving with their danceable tracks.

Stoked Mentoring would like to recognize our generous sponsors Monster Energy Drink and Milk Studios.
