Huntington Beach, Calif.— February 15, 2024 — Wrapping up a successful month of highlighting local businesses in the “Show Your HB Love" campaign, Visit Huntington Beach (VHB), the official destination marketing organization of Huntington Beach, Calif., will offer a limited amount of hand-painted roof tiles from the former Ruby’s Diner in its new online gift shop. Ruby’s Diner, an iconic landmark made famous by its bright red roof, opened at the end of the Huntington Beach Pier in 1996 and quickly became a beloved spot for locals and visitors.
The tiles will be available on February 23, 2024, at 10 a.m. and all profits will be donated to non-profit organizations in Huntington Beach. Those who purchase a roof tile can choose to have their donation go to one of the following non-profit organizations:
-
Bolsa Chica Conservancy
-
Huntington Beach Art Center
-
Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum
-
Surfrider Foundation North Orange County
-
Therapeutic Riding Center of Huntington Beach
VHB will make the donation in the purchaser’s name within 30 business days of the purchase.
“The roof tiles are a historic piece of the Huntington Beach Pier, and we’re excited to share them with the community while also supporting local non-profits,” shared Kelly Miller, president & CEO, VHB.
Huntington Beach artist personality Melissa Murals painted each tile with a black-and-white interpretation of the Huntington Beach Pier. Her art is a staple in the community and can be found throughout Huntington Beach.
The hand-painted tiles cost $250 each and can be purchased at shopsurfcityusa.com while supplies last. Due to the delicate nature of the tiles, they must be picked up in-person at the Visit Huntington Beach office located at 155 5th St., Ste. 111, Huntington Beach, CA 92648.
