The Stoked Awards took place Wednesday night at the Redbull Space in NYC. The annual event honored Airen & Jose, the 2010 Stoked Mentoring Pair of the Year, and emphasized once again how much of a positive impact learning how to skate, snowboard, and surf with a caring role model can have on a teenager’s life. Additional award winners included Mazdack Rassi of Milk Studios for his financial, space, and time donations to Stoked; Meg Hale who met Steve Larosiliere when Stoked was just his dream and helped him make it a reality; and Rita Wadhwani who has volunteered for Stoked since 2006 providing event management and over $80,000 through fundraising for Stoked’s LA chapter.

Awards were given for Volunteer of the Year, Mentor Pair of the Year and for Achievement, with the latter going to Quiksilver CEO Bob McKnight. To top it all off, Sal Masekela got the people in the room to cough up another $20,000 on top of the $80,000 he had already generated by running the NYC Marathon this month.
