Anyone ever do a successful Skateboarding charity event or fundraising for kids around the Holiday or through the year? I would love to do something this year and wanted to see what others have done. Maybe donate to a local hospital, school or kid's home? Maybe we can all do something in our respective areas this year...
If no one else is going to speak I'll have a go right.......?
So years ago in Petaluma, CA I had an idea when I was at a bike Co-oP build bikes and shit.
Or likely scenario #2 9x outta 10 someone is doing a food not bombs vegan/vegetarian meal sometimes a diy book library if you are friends with them.
So I had a rad idea of including a skate library where it's a build your own and if you have old gear you're not using it can be put on a used setup.
In part it'd be a lending library where you can hook someone up with a used deck for very little maybe a sheet of grip in total cost for a used complete.
Only downside is we'd ask for a donation of $5.00 as I would fund this either my own stash of boards or get a deal on some blanks we'd make a rad stencil and hook a lot of people up.
I've done this in Denver, West Palm Beach, Chattanooga.
Well I'll say this it was a rewarding effort but extremely time consuming and in some instances sketchy as we'd do this in various places that it could've gone worse as my vehicle was broken in to.
I applaud your effort but altruism these days sometimes could get you fucked up.....
