Roots Sk8 Park
Roots Skate Park committee, a local volunteer based grassroots project, has now established its own non-profit, Roots Advocates for Youth. This group works hard raising funds to get kids on the concrete before the end of this year. With a recent grant from the Tony Hawk Foundation for $10,000 the group is confident they will reach their goal. Tony Hawk, a world-renowned skateboarder, called his local skate park his, “home away from home” and explains that skateboarding was the sport responsible for shaping his character and teaching him lessons in leadership, perseverance, and initiative. It is with this in mind that the Roots Skate Park committee rolls ahead in search of in-kind donations for materials and equipment as well as fiscal support.
