NEW YORK, NY. - September 16, 2005 - The Dew Action Sports Tour, the first-ever, season-long multi-sport professional tour in action sports, today announced it will support Hurricane Katrina relief efforts through an athlete memorabilia auction on eBay beginning today.
In conjunction with its athletes, the Dew Action Sports Tour is giving fans the chance to own a piece of history. Much of the equipment up for auction was used in the inaugural season of the Tour. Fans can bid on items while knowing that all proceeds will be donated to a cause that hits close to home - the Red Cross National Disaster Relief Fund.
"The Dew Action Sports Tour feels strongly about helping those affected by Hurricane Katrina any way we can," said Dew Action Sports Tour general manager Wade Martin. "Without the support of the athletes, we could never have made this happen."
The auction will be available for 10 days and the entire listing of items can be found on eBay by typing "DEW ACTION SPORTS" in the search field.
More than 25 athletes have donated over 70 items to the eBay auction. Highlights of the auction include:
BMX rider Dave Mirra: Bike ridden to his win in BMX Park at Toyota Challenge
BMX rider Kevin Robinson: Helmet used at Toyota Challenge
Skateboarder Bucky Lasek: Helmet & Skateboard used at Toyota Challenge
Skateboarder Ryan Sheckler: Skateboard Deck used by Ryan
