The Santa Cruz Surfing Museum is running out of funding and may close, but O’Neill founder Jack O’Neill has an idea, according to a story on SantaCruz.com: “Write checks, please.”
Always the type to take his own advice, O’Neill handed over a $4,000 large novelty check inside the museum to members of the Santa Cruz Surfing Club Preservation Society, the new name for Santa Cruz Surfing Club members that hope to take over the museum.
The City of Santa Cruz and the Preservation Society still have a few details to work out including raising at least $20,000 to finish out the year, but with friends like Jack it seems the museum has a good chance of living on.
