The Sheckler Foundation is excited to announce its next Skate for a Cause, this coming Go Skateboarding Day, June 21, 2023. This year they are offering our community 2 fun ways to participate in their family friendly fundraising event. Skaters, family, friends and sponsors are encouraged to create a team to raise funds and awareness of the Sheckler Foundation and their programs that better lives through skateboarding.
A couple of the guys at SPoT hopped in the van, then a plane, another plane, another van.. and headed on down to Peru to link up with The Ollie Plan and the Concrete Jungle Foundation for a total of four distributions. The crew spent half the trip in Lima and then took a bus ride up to Trujillo to wrap it all up. Here’s a look back thanks to Jason Malle.
DGK takes over Rolling Loud to give away skateboards and check the show.
With support from good friends at Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) and Wasatch Adaptive Sports, Ryan Sheckler had the opportunity to connect with Michael Martinez and gift him a Mountain Trike to allow him to continue to purse his lifelong love of Mountain Biking after surviving a stroke in 2021. Thank you CAF and Wasatch Adaptive Sports for making this happen!
With the help from Ryan’s friends at etnies and MURF Electric Bikes, the Sheckler Foundation and Sandlot Times had the chance to grant the High Fives Foundation with a $5K grant.
Nothing better than your favorite place with your favorite people. On this episode of Skatepark Stories we are stoked to go along the ride with John Gardner at his local park.
Jordyn Barratt shares how a skatepark being built in her town is the reason why she started skating. Jordyn shares how public skateparks can provide opportunities for kids to practice on the same obstacles the pros are skating in contests from the X Games to the Olympics, and how everyone regardless of age, gender or race are always welcome!
A 20 year story in the making, Nike SB and ebay paid tribute to the patriarch of Nike Skateboarding, Sandy Bodecker, with the launch of 10 Charity Dunk Lows benefitting the Bodecker Foundation. Each Special edition box came complete with 1 pair of the Tribute Dunk, an homage to the original Charity Dunk, 1 pair of the 2022 release eBay Dunk, a commemorative saw, and commemorative plaque.
Plus, YOU CAN SKATE THE BOX! Each of these super custom/commemorative skateable shoe boxes were auctioned off on eBay with 100% of the proceeds going towards the Bodecker Foundation, which fund a variety of programs aimed to empower creative youth to imagine and achieve their artistic, educational, and professional dreams.
Through the auction of these boxes, they were able to raise a total of $355,000!
