Stand Up For Skateparks Benefit

On Sunday, October 7, from 12-4pm, at the Beverly Hills home of Ron Burkle, the Tony Hawk Foundation presents its action-sports carnival complete with a special musical performance and a vert demo with skateboarding and BMX icons riding on Hawk’s personal ramp. The family-friendly benefit will also include games, food, and live and silent auctions. Proceeds help empower at-risk youth through the creation of free, quality, public skateparks in low-income communities across the U.S. To purchase tickets, please contact Lily Schwimmer.
