\"Watts-Proposed-Park\"<\/a>It’s easy to think about what we’d do if we had loads of revenue coming in, but now thanks to the The Tony Hawk Foundation<\/a><\/strong> <\/strong>we all can give twice as much as we we thought we could. <\/p>\n

In addition to giving away $130,000 to help 14 low-income communities across the U.S. build skateboard parks the Foundation has committed to a “dollar-for-dollar” match on any funds raised via skatewatts.org<\/a><\/strong> through January 15, 2010.<\/p>\n

Having helped launch it in October, the Tony Hawk Foundation is also featuring the Watts Skatepark project during the Athletes For Hope Who Gives? Racing For A Cause challenge, a widely publicized fundraising event hosted by globalgiving.org\/athletes-for-hope\/<\/a><\/strong>. . . . With few alternatives to crime, gangs, and drugs, youth in the Watts community struggle daily to find healthy pastimes that can keep them engaged and active. Through this effort to build a free-quality public skatepark in Watts, the Tony Hawk Foundation is helping local youth realize their dream of a world-class skatepark. . . Make a contribution during this limited campaign, and the impact of your donation will be DOUBLED.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now is our chance to make Tony pay. Donate $10 and Tony will make it $20. <\/p>\n
