During the month of December, Sea Change Tattoo Parlor will donate 10 percent of its tattoo and gift certificate sales to the BARC skatepark, and AJ’s espresso will give 20 percent of its prepaid card sales to the 100 Wells Campaign, a nonprofit working to bring clean water to Darfur.

Laura Rollins, who owns Sea Change with her husband Paco Rollins, said they wanted to give to the skate park because it provides a good activity for young people, and their son has skated there.

“I really think we need to help that skate park as a resource to the community,” she said.

April Sherman, owner of AJ’s Espresso, said some local high schoolers asked her to support the 100 Wells Campaign.

“I believe in this charity, and I believe in supporting kids who are trying to make an impact in the world,” she said.
