Join our growing community of riders committed to the cause! Each year, B4BC hosts longboard-a-thons that unite communities while promoting an active lifestyle in a super fun way! Net proceeds raised by sponsors and participants are allocated to B4BC’s prevention programs as well as local area non-profits that support B4BC’s mission. To date, our signature Skate series has raised nearly $100,000 through both Skate the Lake™ (Tahoe) and Skate the Coast™ (L.A. County) and we are currently exploring expansion to more cities in 2013! If you are interested in sponsorship or bringing an event to your town, please contact email@b4bc.org.

About Skate the Coast™ and Skate the Lake™:
Skate the Coast, now in its 6th year, is a one-of-a-kind longboard-a-thon that runs along an 18-mile portion of the Southern California Coastline from the Santa Monica Pier to the Redondo Beach Pier. Its sister event Skate the Lake, now in its 8th year, covers a 28-mile stretch in beautiful Lake Tahoe. The series attracts skaters young and old and of all abilities to push for prevention!
Since its inception these events have collectively had over 1,000 participants, fundraised close to $100,000, and gained media coverage from national and local media. Funds raised support B4BC’s education and prevention programs, as well as local area non-profits including the Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center and the Cancer Support Community of Redondo Beach.
