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 professional athletes, educators and volunteers working toward a common goal. Founded in October 2003 and based in Los Angeles, California by professional skateboarder Richard Zuccarello, Skateboarders Against Drugs is a 501©(3) nonprofit charitable organization.

Who we serve
Our program is designed for elementary school children K-6 and at-risk youth.

What we do
Establish drug prevention athletic programs at community centers throughout Los Angeles and its surrounding cities. Organize a series of drug awareness events held at elementary schools across America.

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.
