Next Up Foundation Benefit Party by Find Art Gallery

On Saturday, August 30th, Find Art gallery in Costa Mesa threw a party to benefit Next Up Foundation, an Orange County based non-profit that provides youth mentoring/skateboarding programs in low income areas. Several complete skateboards were raffled off and there was also a silent auction with packs of gear from LRG, Diamond, Vans, DC shoes, Stance socks, Hurley, Spitfire Wheels, Thunder Trucks, Enjoi Skateboars, Duster Skateboards, Penny Boards, Uppercut pomades, Powell Peralta, Almost Skateboards, Real Skateboards and plenty of other sponsors. Several bands and DJs provided music, there was beer, drinks and Acai bowls and Flame Broiler were available as well. The art gallery was also open with some amazing art on display and in addition there was live painting happening. It was a fun event where people could score some killer gear and have a blast while raising money for an awesome cause. Thanks to Find Art gallery and all the sponsors for making this party happen!     Summed up by  Austin Black      Photos by Cali Carl
