Help my buddy out; Bill Billing and Family



To all my friends, family and business associates,
Some of you may know about the work that my family has been blessed to have the chance to do over in Egypt. If not, I’ll give you a quick rundown. Since 2006 we have made three trips to Egypt to volunteer at the Wadi sports camp where we are coaches to Muslim kids in all types of sports. The first year I brought some skateboards with me because, well I’m a skater. That first year I built a little ramp and it sort of took off from there. I have since left almost 50 skateboards there and skateboarding has become one of the most popular “sports” at the camp.
Here are some links to blogs I have done about our trips over there.
Please take a moment to check them out.

All of these trips were only made possible by people like you who donated money or product that we either used to raise money to get us there or that we brought with us to give away to the kids. In the past, companies such as VANS, theSkateboardmag, Powell, Forest, SocalSkateshop, and others have donated product or funding.
It costs us $7,500 as a family to go over there for two weeks and work at the camp and we are tasked with raising all of that money ourselves. If you can, please donate to our cause! No donation is too small because they all add up and they can be made by either writing a check made out to;
North Coast Calvary Chapel C.O. the Billing Family
And sent via snail mail to;
Billing Family
4796 Hillside Drive
Carlsbad Ca.
92008.
Or you can make a donation through Paypal to my account bray760@roadrunner.com
Or by going to the following link where you will find a drop down menu for “the Billing Family”

This is a secure site and all information is kept private.
Any product that you wish to donate whether it is skateboards, clothing, shoes or safety gear can be sent to our home address.

If you see it in your heart to become a part of this good cause then we thank you very much! And if you are unable to at this time then please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we prepare for another amazing journey.

Thank you,
Bill, Pat and Mariya Billing.
