----- Original Message ----- From: Jesse Billauer & LRO To: Anthony Starez Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2004 2:42 PM Subject: Sunday and More Hello Anthony , Thank you to everyone who made the inagural 'Night By the Ocean' a huge success! Ziggy Marley was amazing - Matt Costa, Tom Curren, The White Buffalo and Tommy Fields performed an amazing show. 800+ people packed the house in Santa Monica, bidding on silent and live auction items, enjoying food and beverage (thank you GQ, Grey Goose, Foster's and Red Bull).  A BIG thank you to all the volunteers who worked so hard to make this evening possible. Combined efforts between the concert/dinner/auction and the Golf Tournament the next day, grossed Life Rolls On over $140,000! Congratulations. The fun continues starting today down at the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach. Life Rolls On will have a booth on the sand, educating the public about spinal cord injury, collecting donations, and preparing for the 4th Annual _expression_ Session (details below). We hope you can join us!
