Kaenon Polarized

“The SUP for a PUP Street Fair at Kaenon Polarized was a Huge Success!”

A fun filled day of gratitude, sympathy, love and the thrill of getting a good deal. The Kaenon Crew with some help from some industry friends, Surftech, Hinano, Olukai, and Wahoo’s, all took part in the main event of selling samples to draw people in for dog adoptions, with a portion of the proceeds going to local So. Cal dogs in need and A Wish For Animals, a non-profit humane shelter.  Several other great companies contributed to the cause such as, Surfline, INT Softboards, Stand Up Journal magazine, Pro Bar, Pet Supply, Lara Bar and Voorhees Studios. The outcome resulted in a fun street fair atmosphere in the Kaenon Polarized parking lot that combined music, great food, adorable dogs and killer deals on surf gear, sunglasses and apparel.

During the event, guests checked out all the great deals on Olukai Sandals, hats, shirts, shorts, and dresses from Hinano, SUP boards from Surftech and INT and of course tons of Kaenon Sunglasses. Wahoo’s was on site with killer tacos and Power Bar, Lara Bars and fresh cookies from V.G. Bakery in Cardiff made for great snacks.

Our four legged guests of honor, definitely had center stage and were a huge hit among kids and adults.

SUP FOR A PUP – THE FACTS:
Even though the event is over, (donations and requests for dogs are still coming in) so far a total of 20 dogs found loving homes and we raised over $7000 from the event through donations and sales from proceeds from the company’s involved, customer donations, raffle tickets and adoptions.

While some people walked out sporting new shades from Kaenon and happy feet wearing Olukai sandals, others loaded up new SUP boards, board shorts and apparel from Hinano. The biggest winners of the day were those who walked out with new owners, eagerly awaiting the short journey to their new homes. Seventeen dogs were adopted at the event and 3 more found new homes on Sunday, with some already making it on Facebook as the newest addition to the family.

The best part was how much FUN it appeared everyone was having at the event.  The day was long, but it went very quickly.  It is incredibly rewarding to meet our customers in person and share an experience such as this, where together we can help others in our community. Lastly, congrats to all of the raffle ticket winners. Brad stopped by Monday to pick up his prize!

Many thanks to all our co-sponsors and everyone who stopped by to partake in the festivities, we can’t wait to do this again next year!
