  • 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.
