Why We Host Skatesgiving

In a city as big as LA, the holidays can often feel isolating, especially for those who may not have family nearby. We created Skatesgiving to combat that loneliness by bringing people together through the joy of skating. It's a chance to connect, laugh, and feel part of something bigger, all while giving back to the community. Whether you're here to race, have fun, or support the food drive, Skatesgiving is about building a sense of belonging and creating meaningful memories with others during a time that can otherwise feel disconnected.
