As if the Dangerous model from Oakley wasn’t enough we offer you Commit! Again, this is part of Oakley’s commitment to Young Survival Coalition. The ladies had this to say about Commit
“Oakley has the honor of serving countless female athletes who commit themselves to the highest standards of personal achievement. For them, Oakley created CommitTM, a performance-driven design that helps sports enthusiasts find their limits and just as easily exceed them. Designed exclusively for women, CommitTM reinvents everything the world knows about comfort, fit and style with the kind of bold beauty that celebrates the power of the female form.
The unique interchangeable lens design lets you adapt to changing light and optimize performance in virtually any environment. Oakley enhances each lens with a permanent coating called Oakley HydrophobicTM, a marvel of science that repels dust while maintaining a smudge-resistant barrier against finger-prints, lotions and sunscreens and even repels water to prevent streaks and sheens from corrupting your vision. The frame is accented with the signature pink ribbon design on the stem, overlaid with the Oakley icon.”
These sunglasses are as gorgeous as they are commited to helping core athletes perform at their best whether you are on the tennis courts, in the ride to conquer cancer, walking the dog in the beaches, or getting your luge on these will keep you from squinting!

One of two pairs from Oakley will be up for grabs in our raffle (the other is in the auction). Oakley has teamed up with the Young Survival Coalition (www.youngsurvival.org), which is a non for profit based in the United States offering support to younger women battling breast cancer. Oakley made four limited edition sunglasses in support of their cause; Dangerous, Commit, Ravishing, and Enduring Pace. We are very lucky to have two of these four to raffle/auction off; Dangerous and Commit.
Young Survival Coalition had this to say on their website about the Oakley sunnies: “Organically rounded, voluptuous contours and a smooth, sleek finish heighten the feminine allure of this design. This sporty yet conservative style fuses classic and retro design enhanced by authentic Oakley metal icons on an acetate frame. The inside of the eye wear stems features the breast cancer awareness pink ribbon design to make this style completely unique. It struts on the beach and the streets, begging onlookers to take notice.” Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Sector 9 has generously donated a beautiful pin tail for our auction. Skate season is upon us and this is a wicked way to get ready for a new season of skating along the bike path in the beaches, or some sessions with the Ontario Longboarding crew.
The teahupoo is a bamboo pintail with a “w” concave and medium flex for a strong all round board. This complete comes with gullwing trucks and 70mm/75a Nineball wheels. The approximate retail value of this set up is $200. If you bid on it and win you get the satisfaction of knowing you are pushing and saving the environment, and, that your skating is supporting the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation! Push for boobs!!!
