Glad to report from the Skateboards4all HQ that through our efforts and those of Marshall at All Together Skatepark that we were able to secure. a major donation from EVO!
When we began this journey as you might know it was just my stash of equipment and a desire to help people. It was fraught with self doubt and wondering if I had done the right thing. Visiting Marshall at All Together Skatepark after a quick IG chat and I had my first strategic partnership. The only way to keep an organization like this going is through generous donations. Marshall was immediately behind the idea and stoked to help. He had previously helped get the Skate Like A Girl organization get off the the ground with the same type of donation. At this point SKAG is self sufficient and getting assistance from manufacturer donations of new equipment. That is what we aspire to do and we cannot thank people like Marshall and businesses like Evo for the donations that they have given us. At this point there are 38 new people on donated gear.
No donation is too small. Having strangers give me cash donations of 5, 10, or 20 bucks will buy wheels, bearings, decks and keep people on board. With the launch of the site you can now donate directly via Venmo or PayPal just by clicking that donate button.
By partnering with Youth Care Seattle is fantastic! Eugene (KWAB) and I are in lock step on getting boards to the homeless youth of Seattle. These boards mean so much to those that receive them. I cannot think of a better outlet for our donations than helping these people.
If you have something to donate, gear, time, or money, please click one of the links above and partner with us to make the world a better place through skateboarding.
Peace – Daniel
