HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
His goal is to receive pledges of $25.00 for each hour he spends surfing. If you cannot afford that much, whatever you can find in your heart to donate would be amazingly appreciated. Even if it’s a small amount, it will help Dominique and her kids through this tough time.
HOW WE WILL CELEBRATE HIS EIGHT “PRUNE WRINKLED SKIN” HOURS IN THE WATER:
For those of you who donate at least $75.00 and spend the entire eight hours at the beach, he will be treating you to a wonderful dinner at a local restaurant. Yes, you can order appetizers, drinks and desert! Also, the first ten people to show up will receive a commemorative T-shirt of our event, and lucky winners of the raffle will receive signed copies of Dominique’s exciting books including: “The modern amazons: warrior women on-screen”, cool prizes from O’Neill surf gear, and even a vintage longboard (circa 1967 Hansen 9'6" Mike Doyle Pointed Tail Model with an original City of Newport Beach Surfing License)! many more surprises to be revealed later!
Life is a precious gift. Thank you very much for your donations and prayers.
