Jon Reyes Fundraiser



So if you haven't heard, Jon Reyes recently tore his ACL, and is going in for surgery soon.  The thing is, he doesn't have health insurance, which means he'll have to pay for the several-thousand dollar surgery out of pocket.  So the shop he works at, Spokesman, has teamed up with his factory sponsor Phoenix to try to raise money to pay for it.  His signature deck is being offered for sale at $200, a huge discount from the normal price.  And they're being shipped for free, making the deal even better.  The money from the deck sales will go towards helping him pay his medical bills.  This is a really cool thing for Phoenix and Spokesman to do, and I hope it works.  Being without health insurance is a scary thing, if you don't have it, please try to get at least a basic coverage plan, it's very worth it.

  1. His sig deck at spokesman is about 285 an now its 200 and jon is getting some of the money. So how much will phoenix get? 150? If they can afford to drop the price and give Jon some of he money, then why the hell are they priced so high?
