Ivy is a company based out of the Twin Cities in Minnesota that builds longboards, plans events for charities and also goes on adventure trips that others may also attend.
I was approached by their social media coordinator who is a good friend of mine, Alexander Martin, and was asked to collaborate with them on a project. The project was to paint a design on the bottom of the longboard to then be auctioned off for a charity fundraiser they were doing during the summer of 2019. The event was called "Push for Awareness" and involved hundreds of riders on a trip with their longboards through the state.
It was wonderful to work with this company and help with such an incredible cause.
