Skate Night 09.07.11: Together for Carter!

Calling all BROTHERS and SISTERS!

COMING TOGETHER: a SKATE NIGHT for Carter 09.07.11 @Babylon Nightclub from Johny Bonney on Vimeo.
This month's SKATE NIGHT presented by TOP OF THE WORLD will be a very special edition honoring the memory of Carter Antila. For those who may not have known Carter, he is the younger brother of TAYLOR ANTILA, a good friend to the skate community here in Ottawa. Sadly for Taylor, his family, and the skate community as a whole, we lost a special kid in a tragic accident on the night of July 30th, 2011.

It then became apparent to Skate Night brainchild, Mr. Sam Francis, that something needed to be done in the wake of this tragedy. So after speaking with Taylor and his family, they informed Sam of a new skatepark they wanted to build in their hometown of New Liskeard, Ontario. At the end of it all this new skatepark would allow for members of the community to share in Carter's love for skateboarding, and provide kids with a progressive, safe, and fun spot to skate. 


And so with that, on Wednesday, September 7th, 2011, Babylon Nightclub (Ottawa) is set to host a worthwhile fundraiser for Taylor and his family. All proceeds from this month's Skate Night will be donated to help the Antila's develop and build a new memorial skatepark in their hometown of New Liskeard, Ontario.
