  • The Sk8 4 Life Program seeks to create and maintain healthy and sustainable communities by providing youth with free skateboards to both exercise and stay physically and mentally fit.
  • Skateboard Giveaway- The Rob Dyrdek Foundation has partnered with Skate Pass to provide schools and 501(c) 3 organizations whose targeted demographic has a need for and the ability to distribute free skateboards. (i.e. Boys and Girls Club, Elementary and Middle Schools)
  • HOW TO GET INVOLVED These are many of the same tactics that have worked to get skate parks built across the US. The important thing to remember: you don’t want a skate park, you want a Skate Plaza. Stick to your guns, and remember to educate as many people as possible about the Skate Plaza concept. 1. Organize a group of skaters—the larger the better. 2. Talk to your local skate shop and see if they’ll help you organize and have meetings in their shop. If you’re under 18, you’ll probably need an adult to help. Good sources are a local skate shop owner or a parent. 3. Start a petition. It’s always good to hit your city with big numbers to let them know there’s a huge demand that’s not being met. Take petition forms to your local skate shops and ask the managers if you can leave them for people to sign. Pick them up in about two or three weeks
  • Take petitions to your schools. Take them to local skate parks and skate spots. There’s a good chance that most skaters already see the need for a Skate Plaza. If they don’t, you can explain it this way: “Want a Love Park here?” That should get their attention and explain the idea. Have your friends and family help you by taking the petitions to work.

    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. They include autistic disorder, Rett syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) and Asperger Syndrome. ASD can be associated with intellectual disability, difficulties in motor coordination and attention and physical health issues such as sleep and gastrointestinal disturbances. Some persons with ASD excel in visual skills, music, math and art.

  • Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors and entire communities. The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 after a little boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt wish to become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 250,000 children around the world. Although it has become one of the world's most well-known charities, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has maintained the grassroots fulfillment of its mission. A network of nearly 25,000 volunteers enable the Make-A-Wish Foundation to serve children with life-threatening medical conditions. Volunteers serve as wish granters, fundraisers, special events assistants and in numerous other capacities. As the Foundation continues to mature, its mission will remain steadfast. Wish children of the past, present and future will have an opportunity to share the power of a wish®.
