Go Skateboarding Day Benefits Top Charities Across The Globe

May 24, 2010 | Skip To The Comments (1)

Check out Skateistan, a non-profit organization based in Kabul, Afghanistan, that created the first skateboarding school in Afghanistan.

Their mission is to engage urban and internally-displaced youth through skateboarding.

This year Skateistan is teaming up with skaters in Switzerland to connect the two cultures and collect donations for the charity. Also skaters in Switzerland, will take to the streets and skate a 5000 meter (3.11 miles) trek across the city to represent the 5000 kilometer (3,107 miles) distance between Basel and Kabul.

Check out these other cool charities that get involved:
JohnnyKicksCancer, Lee Matasi Foundation, Stoked Mentoring, Boys and Girls clubs, YMCA, A.skate Foundation, and Grind for Life.
