I am organizing a skateboarding event this summer to celebrate my 10-year anniversary in skateboarding with my community. When I first started out as a kid, the support and encouragement I received from fellow skaters made all the difference in my journey. The friendships, mentorship, and sense of belonging I found through skateboarding helped shape who I am today, both on and off the board. Now, I want to give back and bring people together the same way others did for me when I was just getting started.

This event is my way of saying thank you to everyone who has been part of my skateboarding journey. The funds raised will go directly toward making this celebration special for everyone involved. Your support will help cover food and beverages for attendees, supplies like product and tables, a rental van to transport everything, cash prizes for the winners, and compensation for the DJ and cohost who will help make the day unforgettable. Every contribution, big or small, will help create an event that brings our community together and celebrates the spirit of skateboarding.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who’s supported and pushed me over the last 10 years—those who introduced me to the people I work with today, the team I love dearly, and the community that was always there for me, even at my lowest. Your support means the world to me, and I hope you’ll join me in making this event a reality. Thank you for helping me give back to the community that has given me so much.
