Push for Awareness 2024
Join us on July 20, 2024
DonateWelcome to the Push for Awareness 2024
We skate to end the stigma of mental illness and to promote lifestyle changes that combat depression. We skate because it's hard, and so is talking about mental health. So ask a friend how they're doing today, and make some plans to get outside!
Come be a part of our 12th Annual Push For Awareness event on July 20th!
A huge shoutout to all of our sponsors including Bobo's, Damage Board Shop, Exway, HammerToe Longboards, Help Boardshop, Minneapolis Bouldering Project, Pinewski's, Rick Bronson's House of Comedy, Seward Co-Op, and Spring Lake Park Lions Club. All riders will receive a free pass to Minneapolis Bouldering Project as well as a 5% discount at Pinewski's (mention PFA at checkout). The top individual fundraiser will receive an electric longboard courtesy of Exway.
We invite all riders, friends, and family to join us for our "after party" and raffle starting at 5 pm.
This year's route will be a multi-lap circuit - choose your distance from 5 to 75 miles! While the official event start time is 9 am, we invite you to join us earlier beginning at 5 am (with check in starting at 4:45 am) if you'd like to get extra laps in!
