The goal of “Irmageddon” was conceived to reengage the boating community following the two Category 5 hurricanes and to galvanize the local community.
The Marina theme is “We are V.I.!,” celebrating the resilience and integrity displayed by the Virgin Islanders after an extremely taxing period post Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
Accordingly, a portion of the proceeds collected from the event was donated to The Boys & Girls Club of St. Thomas, V.I. (a non-profit Virgin Islands charitable organization).
“I decided we would create an event to show the world we were not defeated by the storm, but we would rebuild. We would recover. We would continue to see beauty in all things. The diamond shield on the face of the trophy reminds us that we are a diamond in the rough — that beauty can come from what may seem like an insignificant rock but when hard work and dedication are applied to that rock, what emerges is a work of art of immense value for all to behold.”-Mr.Ohno
