Unfortunate News...

Posted by Edwin Sunday, August 7, 2011 0 comments

Although we've been pushing towards active participation for Skate Cape May this year, after a meeting of our families and quite some discussion, it has been deemed something we simply won't be able to do this year.


The issue here stems from liability as Skate Cape May is indeed a potentially dangerous event with very real risk of injury and even death while skating on the road with cars all around. Without any form of real insurance our families can't be held responsible in the off chance something were to happen and someone decided to sue. We all agree that safety, being our main priority, greatly reduces the risk of anything like this happening but nevertheless we can't take that risk should there be any extreme circumstances.

So, as sad as I am to say, we will not be allowing people to officially join us while skating. Sorry to those who have been asking.

We will still be tweeting regularly our location for those following us, and we would love it if people would come visit us at our lemonade stand locations!

New Participation Information!

Apologies once again for the sparse blog postings especially considering Skate Cape May is coming up in just a couple of days now.

This post is mostly just to tell you guys that I've updated the Participation information on the "Participate" page so it's a lot more comprehensive and finally set up a rudimentary sign-up "form" for those interested in participating. Definitely check it out for more information!

Until there is more to say,

Sponsor Updates + Raffles!

Posted by Edwin Thursday, July 7, 2011 0 comments



Its been a bit of a busy week! Recently Paris Trucks, Divine Wheel Co. and Vox Footwear have come out to assist us on our journey by providing Trucks, Wheels, and Shoes for the journey! Much thanks to these companies for helping us out with the equipment.
Along with equipment to use, some of the gear will be raffled off for donations at each lemonade stand. Stuff being raffled will include sets of wheels, trucks, a pair of shoes, and shirts!

As of now we're still working on getting shirts and wristbands for the journey which has presented issues mostly with finding money to purchase them. Until they're available, we're looking for anyone interested in helping us out in terms of tshirts and wristbands!

I'll be keeping you guys posted with any updates!

Aina, Skate Cape May Revisions!

Posted by Edwin Saturday, June 25, 2011 0 comments

We received our first sponsor "care package" if you will from Aina clothing, owned by none other than Colin Taylor, who has been with us helping finding sponsors since last year's Skate Cape May. His shirts are 100% organic cotton and as a lifestyle brand is working at an eco-friendly approach to clothing. Many thanks to Colin again, be sure to check out his website at http://www.ainaclothing.com! (and see more information on our sponsors page!

We're still looking for sponsors mainly just to provide maybe a set of wheels or bearings for the trip, and anything else could really only help (places to stay, advice for popular locations, and generally spreading the word about our event!)

As a new introduction to our event this year, we're hoping to include people in on our journey, though only from one town to the next. As of now we're hoping to charge maybe 25-30$ per participant to come skate with us and also get a Skate Cape May shirt for doing so. (the money of course, will be donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand). As we work out the route for this year in further detail, we'll provide more information, so keep posted!
So, if anyone wishes to come along and lives nearby one of the towns we start or finish at, feel free to register a spot by emailing me at contact@skatecapemay.com!

Right now, our schedule is as follows:
8/10 - High Point State Park to Newton, NJ
8/11 - Newton to Chester
8/12 - 8/15 - ?
8/16 - ? to Cape May, NJ

Not much there, I know, but be sure to keep posted!

Skate Cape May is a 200+ mile skateboarding journey from the top of New Jersey (High Point) to the bottom (Cape May) with the intent to raise funds for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research. Last year, we received an award as a Top 100 Fundraiser for 2010 for ALSF!
