P.Rod & Next Up at The Berrics

Throughout November and December of 2015, we had an online fundraiser on Indiegogo. Our goal was to raise funds in order to expand our skateboarding programs; as people donated money to our cause, they could choose one of our perks — and one of those perks was a day at The Berrics with P.Rod. Nick Ajluni, one of our friends and donor, donated $2500 to our cause and chose “P.Rod” as his perk. Nick, instead keeping his perk, donated it back to Next Up and asked us to take our kids and give them the opportunity to skate The Berrics with P.Rod. — here’s what happened in early March of 2016 because of Nick’s kindness. Thank you so much Nick and Andrew Ajluni, The Berrics, Fred Van Schie, Pizzanista for feeding us, and P.Rod and entire team. We had a blast! Chris Sanchez
