Newport Skatepark  at the DeBlois Gallery and Rejects Beer Company, January 26, 2024, 6:30 to 9:30 PM

Please join us at DeBlois Gallery and Rejects Beer Company on January 26th from 6:30 to 9:30 pm for a Gala Event to benefit Friends of Newport Skatepark. 

Skateboard decks hand-painted by over 30 local artists will be on display at DeBlois Gallery and will be sold to the highest bidder in a silent auction.

There will be live music starting at 8 PM, beer, and other events at Rejects Beer Company. $5 donation (suggested) to enter.  All proceeds go to Friends of Newport Skatepark. As 2023 draws to a close, the Friends of Newport Skatepark are edging closer to an ambitious $1 million fundraising goal. With $860,693 already secured, the community’s support is crucial in these final weeks to “Close the Gap.”

This year’s efforts have been truly remarkable, and the anticipated Newport Skatepark, to be designed by the renowned Spohn Ranch, promises to be a family-friendly hub, welcoming young children and seasoned skateboarders alike. It’s not just a park; it’s a testament to our community’s commitment to inclusivity and family-oriented recreation.

Friends of Newport Skatepark are deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to our journey towards the Newport Skatepark. Your generosity has been the backbone of this project. As we gear up for our final events, we encourage everyone in our community to join us in this last stretch.

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to our cause, your involvement now can make a significant difference. Let’s gather to celebrate our collective efforts, enjoy Newport’s vibrant spirit, and give a final, strong push to turn the dream of a community-centric skatepark into a reality.
