Guapo Skateboards will be presenting an evening of spectacular art, style, skateboarding, cocktails and infinite fun benefiting Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, St. Philips School and Community Center and The Dallas School and Arts Community. Throughout the evening guests will bid on and purchase their favorite artist’s skateboard and other auction items. South Side on Lamar will display 120 skateboards designed by either a celebrity artist, a St. Philips student, a graphic designer or a local artist.
Guapo Skateboards will announce the winning designer’s skateboard in the “Students” category of the Art Auction. The winning student artist from St. Philips School and Community Center will receive “The Art of Skateboarding” 2008 Award. This award includes using the student's artwork on a Guapo Skateboard that will be sold in stores nationwide. The winner will receive board royalties for each board sold to establish a college fund for the student.
During the evening the Guapo Skateboards story will be presented, including the team video and remarks from owner Al Coker and former TSRHC patient, professional skateboarder and honorary chairman Jon Comer.
