Relate Skatebaords hosting the R.O. Skate Competition July 11th

 The annual Ruben Osorio Skate Competition hosted by Relate Skateboards was created to celebrate the life of one the founders of the Relate Skateboard Company.  In early 2003 Ruben Osorio and Rafael Boria were talking about restarting the company that they attempted in 1994 as young men with a lot of drive but little financial support. Unfortunately, Ruben suffered an untimely death in 2004 to Lymphatic Cancer.  In 2005, the Relate Skateboard Company was started and in honor of Ruben as well as a skate competition.  The event raises awareness and money for cancer research and has become a positive outlet for kids. This amateur community based skate competition will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2009 at Logan Square Skate Park located at Logan Blvd. and Western from 7:00 am until 6:00 pm.  For the skaters there will be prizes and trophies along with food and water.  For more info please contact Rafael Boria @ 773.297.6650 and or email : raboria@aol.com   Relate Skateboard Company mission is to engage youth people in an alternative active sport and promoting good health and an alternative to gangs and drugs.
