| Our
Mission
To promote community health and increase drug prevention
awareness
in children
and their families through educational events that combine
performance art with a
drug-free
message.
Our
Goal
To
use the excitement of skateboarding to attract the attention
of children and their families and provide them with
educational materials and support to help reduce the
number of drug and alcohol related tragedies.
Who
we are
We are an organization of athletes, educators and volunteers
working toward a common goal. Founded in October 2003
by professional skateboarder Rich Zuccarello, Skateboarders
Against Drugs is a 501©(3) nonprofit charitable
organization.
Who
we serve
Our program is designed for elementary school children
K-6.
What
we do
Organize drug awareness events at elementary schools.
Our goal
is to put on visually stimulating and highly informative
events that will inspire and motivate children to stay
in school, set goals, participate in extracurricular
activities and most importantly to empower them to stay
drug-free.
At each
event a team of professional athletes will dazzle the
audience with a stunning extreme performance. In addition
guest speakers educated in the field of drug prevention
will address the children by describing the hazards
of drug and alcohol addiction to discourage abuse before
it begins.
Finally
each child will receive an educational handboook, a
backpack, a t-shirt and school supplies all imprinted
with a drug-free message.
