Time: 
Sat, May 30, 9:00am - 6:00pm

On this first day of a two-day event, the focus will be on community volunteerism. Attendees will be encouraged to get involved, or to increase their involvement, in their communities, with the skatepark as an example of what volunteers can accomplish. For local NPOs that choose to participate, we will present their missions, current projects and their volunteer and financial needs, and will encourage people to visit the NPO booths to learn more and to sign up. Booth space is free to local NPOs. A crowd of several thousand people is expected.

Event Schedule:

  • 9:00 -   Live music
  • 12:00 - Dedication speeches
  • 1:00 -   Skateboarding demo (Tony Hawk et al.)
  • 3:00 -   Expert-level skateboard competition

If your organization wishes to participate, and/or to volunteer to help with this event, please contact Janette Taylor (see your NANA contact list). Volunteers are needed to help with parking control, security and site cleanup.
