Dishing Out The Cash
Newquay Mayor Andy Hannan along with his wife Barbara and the Joe Way appeals' Dean Woods carried out a whistle stop tour to hand over donations from last years Joe Way Paddle for life.
The trio started at Kingsley Village to hand over £150 to the League of Friends and £250 to the Air Ambulance which was a thank you to Atlantic FM for their support and was added to the local radio stations running total for their High Five Appeal which is raising money for the Cornwall Air Ambulance.
After a stop at the Atlantic FM studios to speak to the presenters they headed off to Wadebridge to meet the Celtic Storm Power Chair Football team who received £100 as a thank you for the Newquay Sainsbury’s stores help with parking spaces at last years paddle. Celtic Storm are Sainsbury’s chosen charity so this was another boost through the supermarket helping Joe’s Paddle.
International Surfer Support
Local international surfer Ben “Skindog” Skinner has donated £2000.00 to the late Newquay toddlers “Joe Way Appeal”.
Matt Way said “We are really grateful for Ben’s support which has been right from the start of Joe’s appeal and the guys at Skindog surfboards have been a really support to the whole family. We cannot thank them enough”.
Ben’s team at Skindog surfboards along with Skinners ales raised £800 at the Skindog surf and Flowrider camp during this years Boardmasters on Hendra Holiday Park.
Nike 6.0 Boardshort Bar
The Nike 6.0 Boardshort Bar, which was opened in Newquay for the main part of the summer, has supported a Cornish fundraising appeal which was set up in memory of 4 year old Joe Way from Newquay.
The boardshort bar was open in the centre of Newquay and had been designed and fitted out by a local company. The pop up shop concept gave Nike the opportunity to promote their new surfing brand in the UK’s surf capital this summer.
The pop up shop meant that retail space that would have been empty during the main holiday weeks, was used and it gave a great place for holiday makers and locals to make their own board shorts and catch up with the latest from the Nike 6.0 global team riders.
