Raising money for charity, and doing it while showcasing your skills
during the 8-hour jam session, or 8km Longboard skate ; this is exactly
what the
8 Hour Skate is all about.
This incredible event will
help raise money for YOUCAN, an organization focused on youth-led
initiatives in non-violent conflict resolution and violence prevention,
both nationally and internationally. Their mission is to equip and
inspire others to peacefully resolve conflicts and develop healthy
relationships in their communities.
On Saturday September 20,
participants of all ages will raise pledges while enjoying a day of
skateboarding, or carving the 8km course on their longboards. The day
will be filled with music, prizes, a charity auction and other exciting
activities.

at www.8hourskate.com where they will receive a package including map,
