Our 4th Annual Super Skate Posse Give Back was unforgettable. Together, we gave 100 kids in our community brand new complete skateboards, @protec ,& @globebrand shoes.

We kicked things off w/a sensory skate session for our neurodiverse youth, led by the amazing coaches from @sk8haven.npo & @skateboardingforautismca , creating a welcoming space where everyone could learn at their own pace. 
At noon, youth from the @jklivinfoundation & @bbbsla joined us for free skate gear & a supportive intro to skateboarding.

The community showed up big:
🛹 Globe donated skateboards, shoes, and tees, & @globebrand_skateboarding pros ripped thru the park. Thank you @joncleveland_ & team!
🍔 @tasty_ws served burgers and brisket.
🐔 @raisingcanes kept everyone fueled with lemonade, teas, & free goodies in the sling bags.
🥤 Sabadores @topochicousa kept everyone refreshed.
🍿 @localheartsfoundation , @officialviplb @thevipfamilyfoundation , Squishmallows, & many others shared snacks, drinks, & giveaways.
🫶 @soluna.app brought DIY patch socks, stickers, & resources for teens seeking accessible mental health support.
🎡 The @lbhealthdept kept the fun going with Spin the Wheel prizes.

This day was about more than skateboarding. It brought nonprofits, businesses, volunteers, & community members together to make sure every child felt seen, welcomed, and included. Whether it was their first time on a board or they just needed a judgment-free space, everyone belonged.

That’s what skateboarding is all about—community, encouragement, inclusion, & showing up exactly as you are.

A special shout out to @superskateposse for making skateboarding accessible to our LB community that may not have the opportunity to do activities like these. It’s always an honor to partner with you every year. We ❤️ you.

Thank you to every sponsor, volunteer, coach, donor, & family who made this day possible. Your generosity created memories these kids will never forget.

A special thank you to @n4kamura for these incredible photos. You captured the heart, excitement, & joy of the day perfectly. ❤️
