How change happened in 2021
We start with a thanks. A deep gratitude to you, whomever and wherever you are, for being part of our journey this year. Whether you’re one of our conscious customers, a social partner, artist collaborator, or just somebody who reads a post of ours once in a while – the chain of change isn’t complete without you. Everything that’s happened this year is down to your support.
Together we’ve generated $230,000 in funding for social projects in skateboarding (plus a few outside of it). That money was distributed to 13 social projects, in 19 locations, based on our formal commitments with these partners. The result? 5 new skateparks for communities which need them, and 6100 young people empowered and educated through regular programs and lessons.
With three award nominations and one win, we are blown away by the change that’s happened in spite of the challenges and restrictions that have hit us all over the past two years. It’s through solid relationships and the dedicated effort and passions of real people that this has been possible.
And it’s thanks, too, to the iconic artists who have put their name to THE SKATEROOM’s socially engaged business model.
