RecUniversal's Pushin' The Positivity Skate Jam is coming back May 25th! With the help of Anvil of Hope, and AleSmith Brewing Company again this year, along with our open jams, you can also register to compete in the contests!
The purpose of this program is to bring skateboarding, and its community to local, financially disadvantaged kids, whom otherwise might not have access. Children from families living in poverty are 3 times more likely to suffer from mental health issues, and experience a significant amount of trauma in which they have very little resources to seek or find help. Skateboarding provides benefits both recreationally, and mentally, teaches independence, patience, self-forgiveness, perseverance, and is FUN!
Before kicking off our Skate Jam, we are hosting a private clinic with ten kids and their families, and hooking the kids up with all the skateboard equipment they will need to begin their skateboarding journey, as well as a free clinic, and lunch. Funds raised through this Skate Jam go directly back into this program to open an outlet for more kids at future Skate Jams, as well as our other year-round events, to allow us to continue serving our community and providing a resource for those struggling with mental health complications.
Once our private clinic and luncheon concludes, we will open up the skatepark to YOU for our Skate Jam and fundraiser!
