I am more than excited to announce that we have collected a total of $5,335.00 for this years AIL SCHOLARSHIP FUND! I owe a huge thanks to each and everyone of you that has donated! You have made it possible for kids to attend our AM event that may not have had that opportunity. There are kids who DREAM of attending Woodward and NOW…. they will get to! They will also get to be a part ofthe AIL presented by ROLLERBLADE World Championships September 28-30th!!!
I ran the 26.2 mile marathon on June 3rd! It was an incredible experience but EXCRUCIATING to say the least! :) I kept each of you in my heart and kept reminding myself of WHY I WAS DOING THIS! THANK YOU so VERY MUCH!
Please contact me if you know of anyone who could use a scholarship for the AIL Championships event. I will get an application to them or to you so that you can get that back to me ASAP.
AIL week at WOODWARD WEST
Week 7 at Woodward West is AIL week. Please contact me if you are interested in attending. ALL AIL competitors will receive a coupon for $150 off of their weeks tuition. Its going to be a great week! Richie is planning a week of fun where you will get to work on your lines & tricks for the Championships event. Rumor has it…. Chris Haffey will be there to!
So, I have discount coupons… if you need me to send you one let me know ASAP. You will only get the discount with coupon.
LAST MINUTE QUALIFIERS
We are in the process of making some last minute qualifier stops. Please keep checking our website for updates. We are hoping to schedule an EAST COAST stop at the end of August (possibly at Woodward East) and a MID WEST event in OHIO. So please stay tuned. Nothing is set as of right now. We want to make sure we can make them happen successfully! We do want everyone to have the chance to qualify though. It is going to be an AMZING INLINE EVENT!!!!
SCHOOL TOURS & CLINICS
Rollerblade & AIL spent a huge part of this year visiting schools! Wow… what a huge success! It has been amazing seeing all those faces cheering & wanting to know more about our sport. Team Rollerblade has done an OUTSTANDING JOB representing our sport and getting our sport known out there. We even got to perform in TIME SQUARE this year and take part in quite a few morning shows!
We have also been visiting skate parks and setting up clinics to promote park skating & skate parks. When your out there…. ALWAYS remember that you are a role model to someone! Talk about what you do and why you do it! It is contagious!
Well, I have probably taken up enough of your time as it is so I will end this recap for now. Championship information will be released next week so stay tuned!
CHAMPIONSHIPS EVENT INFO
Event info for the Championships event will be out VERY SOON! We are in the process of putting together packages & event schedules. It is going to be a HUGE EVENT. We are getting excited and promise to get info out ASAP! If you have competed at an AIL EVENT, you are QUALIFIED! SO… Reserve September 28-30 for the CHAMPIONSHIPS EVENT!
You will not want to miss it!!!!
Take care,
Pam Velasquez
