Skateboards for kids
Donation protected
Over the past five years I have traveled to over 20 countries to connect with the skateboarding community and build skate parks across the globe. This year I will be making another trip and am currently trying to raise money to purchase skateboard supplies in California and help pay for transportation. The estimated weight for the 37 skateboards is 200 lbs which would roughly cost $850. The cost for completing skateboards boards below (Wheels, Trucks, Bearings, Hardware) would cost $600.
This quote comes directly from the Wonders Around the World website who I will be volunteering for:
"Wonders around the world is a non-profit international and independent organization of highly skilled skateboarders, builders, architects, engineers and entrepreneurs who volunteer to manifest these projects. In collaboration with the local youth, community groups and others who shares our passion - we make it happen from start to finish and beyond.
In this way we create joy, play and self-development for the youth in places of the world where otherwise would not manifest itself - places where it's highly needed and appreciated."

These skateboards will be given at the skatepark to the children of the city. The city is chosen by children who reach out to Concrete Builders who want a skatepark. Often times I have noticed multiple children sharing one old skateboard. Skating has been a positive outlet for me and has allowed me to build a community of friends from all over the world. It would mean so much to me to give this opportunity to kids and allow them to have an escape from day to day life in different parts of the world. Below are some previous projects that I am so grateful to be apart of:
