As the girl who traded in her ballet shoes for snowboard boots and her dollhouse for a hockey stick , there is no wonder why I put myself, hobby wise, on the same level as model Daria Werbowy. Before the catwalks and magazine covers, Werbowy spent her time on the slopes, chilling at the skate park, shooting hoops, tossing the rugby ball and sailing the deep blue seas. But her knockout legs aren’t the only attribute Werbowy scored from her athletic youth, she acquired a stiff upper lip and a backbone of steal. 

Hoping to spread her love for action sports, Werbowy is a recent sponsor of Stoked, a non-profit organization that gives underprivileged youth the opportunity to learn and participate in these relatively expensive and inaccessible sports. If you’re down to help out, meet some affluent models, have a few cocktails and a good time, Werbowy is hosting a spring benefit in honor of Stoked. While designers are helping to protect the earth’s sustainability, it’s good to know other fashion icons are doing their part too!
