“Skateboarding is about self-empowerment and development.  It instills confidence and camaraderie.  At World Skateboarding Grand Prix, we want to not only host world class skateboarding events, but we want to create opportunities and broaden the horizons of youth around the world.  We’ve seen first hand the difference skateboarding can make in a child’s life and our mission is to use skateboarding as a means to reach under served and impoverished youth around the world.”
