Success!!!

The 2nd annual Rock the Cradle for Johnny Romano benefiting Johnny Kicks Cancer Foundation was an outstanding success. About $20,000 were raised for childhood leukemia research, advocacy and awareness. The Gulf Coast Blood Center received 22 blood donation which could potentially translate to 66 lives save. That is incredible!!! The level of excitement, friendship and good will filled a spectacular day of skating and good family fun. One cannot help but to think that Johnny was smiling up in the beautiful blue skies during the event.

Thanks to World Cup Skateboarding, riders, volunteers, supporters who make it a success and especially to the Romano family for their courage, fortitude, faith and example. We are proud of you!

The 3rd annual Rock the Cradle for Johnny Romano is starting to shape up and it will be even bigger!
