SURF DOG RICOCHET RAISES OVER $8200 FOR
QUADRIPLEGIC SURFER, PATRICK IVISON, AND
TAKES SECOND PLACE AT THE SURF CITY SURF DOG EVENT!
Patrick Ivison with his surf dog companion Riccochet
SAN DIEGO, CA, October 13, 2009… Ricochet, (”Rip Curl Ricki,”) the Surfin’ for Paws-abilities surf dog who is fundraising for Patrick Ivison, a 15 year old quadriplegic adaptive surfer exceeded her fundraising goals, and won 2nd place in the large dog category at the Surf City Surf Dog event held October 11th in Huntington Beach.
Ricochet has been leading a fundraising campaign for Patrick for the last several months. As part of these efforts, she and Patrick performed a tandem surf demonstration at the Surf City Surf Dog event last Sunday with the goal of raising funds, as hundreds of onlookers enjoyed the tandem pair.
Patrick, Riccochet and Mom Jennifer head out for another wave
Ricochet’s fundraising goals were twofold: Raise enough money to cover the $2000 cost of Patrick’s new service dog, Kona from Pawsitive Teams, a local service dog organization. And, raise at least $5000 for Patrick’s intense physical therapy at Project Walk.
The WebMD Health Foundation, who is thrilled to help Patrick reach his goals, made a kick off donation of $3600, which helped Ricochet raise a total of $8200+, exceeding her goals! Donations are still coming in, and being accepted, so the totals will be updated in the next several weeks. If you’d like to make a donation go to http://www.ripcurlricki.com/Donate.htm Ricochet sincerely thanks The WebMD Health Foundation for their generous support and commitment. She also appreciates every single individual, and organization that supported her in this fundraising campaign through their selfless help and donations.

Despite injuring her paw two days before the event, Ricochet was determined to do her job for Patrick, and competed in the large dog category of the surf dog competition, where she placed first. She achieved the highest score of all dogs in all categories during the preliminary heats, notwithstanding her injury. Ricochet then went on to the finals where she won 2nd place in the large dog category, and Patrick happily accepted her prize. But, Ricochet says “The best prize was raising more than $8200 for Patrick, and doing our tandem rides, which puts a huge smile on Patrick’s face!”

Patrick suffered a C4/5 spinal cord injury as a result of an un-insured driver backing a car over him, when he was a child. Patrick was diagnosed quadriplegic, and has used a wheelchair ever since, but uses an adaptive board to surf.
Ricochet was slated to be a service dog for people with disabilities, but had to be released from that role due to her strong drive to chase birds and other small animals, which could be dangerous to a person with a disability. She went from service dog to SURFice dog, and is now fundraising for charitable causes like spinal cord injured Patrick Ivison.

The 1st annual Surf City Surf Dog Contest was a hit as dogs and people lined the beaches and joined in helping to raise money for Patrick Ivison and also a host of other great dog charity groups.
The event which was put on by Book That Event in Costa Mesa took a year and a half of planning to pull off and included a wide range of vendors, surfing dogs, an event walk and a doggie costume contest.
The surfing dogs went out in good surf and with the help of their owners they surfed on some great waves including a 4 dog tandem ride.
