24-Hour Paul King Memorial Skate-A-Thon

at the Andover Community Skate Park, Andover, MA
Sponsored by Andover Youth Services, Converse, WBCN 104.1 FM and The Eagle-Tribune
What: The Paul King Memorial Skate-Thon is a fundraiser for a new ramp and repairs to the Andover Community Skate Park. Paul King envisioned a 24-hour skate-a-thon to raise money for the park, but sadly, he passed away before that could become a reality. So a group of his family, friends and fellow skaters are carrying out his dream in his honor. The goal is to raise $100,000. Thanks to Converse, we have already raised $50,000.
What else: The skate-a-thon will be a festival full of skate contests, music by WBCN 104.1 FM and local bands, ultimate Frisbee, street hockey, basketball, food and raffles. There will be something for everyone.
When: The skate-a-thon will begin at 12 p.m. on Saturday, June 21 (Go Skateboarding Day), and will run all day and all night until finally ending at 12 p.m. on Sunday, June 22.
Where: The Andover Community Skate Park is located behind West Middle School, 80 Shawsheen Road, Andover, MA.
