Southampton - The Second Annual Dream Extreme, which included a beach side bash, a female kiteboarding clinic and dinner dance party and auction was held on September 17, 2011. The event, kicked off with a beach side bash in Amagansett which was attended by hundreds, including designer Nicole Miller who participated in the KB4 Girls kiteboadring clinic.

Dream Extreme was founded by Linda Argila, professional fundraiser and motivator. She has been kiteboarding for three years and it has empowered her in all aspects of her life. She created Dream Extreme to help others overcome challenges and help live their dreams.

Guinness World Record holder and Nine Time World Championship Kristin Boese, who has lead kiteboarding clinics around the world, led this year's two day KB4 Girls kiteboarding dream extreme clinic. Boese began windsurfing for fun. She wanted to find something new to try, so while on vacation in Spain she saw kiteboarding and wanted to try it. She starting taking lessons and encouraged by her instructor, as well as her desire to be a professional athlete, she quit her job, started competing and hasn't looked back since. Other activities that attendees could participate in included kayaking with Orion Mims, stand up paddle boarding with Gina Bradley, and traditional kite flying with Bruce Floras.

After the beach side bash guests then headed to Seasons of Southampton for the dinner dance party. Guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner, a bonfire and silent auction where they could bid on a number of items, including a spa treatment to Anansa's Spa in Southampton, a dream vacation to the Turks and Caicos, a Chloe handbag, luxury on the high seas day cruise, and a Hayden Harnett handbag.

This years emcee was Chris Ernst who met Argila at the BVI Kite Jam. The honorary chair was Bonnie Pfeifer-Evans and Courtney Dawon was this year's honoree. Dawson tried kiteboarding for the first time at the KB4 Girls Kite Clinic. She was nervous about not being able to kiteboard but had an amazing time. Dawson believes, "Anyone can do it with the right person teaching."

One of the charities, which benefits from Dream Extreme is STEPS to End Family Violence. Ten years ago Argila was separated from her daughter, which is why raising awareness for foster children is so important to her. STEPS focuses on educating families and communities about violence prevention, promoting healing among victims, and advocating toward an enhanced community understanding domestic violence. Argila is very involved in the lives of many of the children and families she helps through STEPS.

The other charity which benefits from Dream Extreme is Concern, Haiti. Argila just got back from Haiti and the devastation inspired her to want to get involved and help. Concern's mission is to help people living in extreme poverty achieve major improvements in their lives.
