Giving Tuesday is Dec. 2nd and COWTOWN is pushing for their 2,000 board goal.
We’re calling on the whole skate community – and anyone who believes in giving kids a chance to experience the benefits of skateboarding.
$60 = a brand-new, pro-level setup delivered through the nationwide network of partner shops. Every donation gets us one board closer to 2,000 by the end of Giving Tuesday.
Let’s prove what skateboarding can do when we all push together. Hit SkateboardAngel.org to donate.

At the crux of every thriving skateboard scene is a brick and mortar store that plays a vital role in the foundation of its community. Laura, Trent Martin, and Ed Cox JR of Arizona’s Cowtown Skateboards have proven this true. Born out of necessity, Trent and Ed felt the missed representation of a core skate shop that supported the local community. Before Cowtown’s inception, a coalition of key figures that included Laura, Damon Alire, and Daniel Shircliff were already pushing for the development of a skatepark for the community—their efforts included engaging with the city, raising money, and hosting contests. In 1997, two events occurred that would forever change the course of skateboarding in Phoenix: the opening of Cowtown and Desert West Skatepark. The paths between Trent, Ed, Laura, Damon, and Daniel crossed throughout their various endeavors, each with similar goals: providing, fostering, and building a future for skateboarders in their community.
