The Tony Hawk: RIDE Presents Stand Up For Skateparks benefit returned to Beverly Hills on October 11, 2009 to help the Tony Hawk Foundation bring free, quality public skateparks
to low-income communities across the U.S. On November 7, the star-studded event then travels to the Wynn Resort for its Las Vegas debut. Each Tony Hawk: RIDE Presents Stand Up For Skateparks location will feature a unique musical guest. Having performed at the first Stand Up For Skateparks event in 2004, blink-182 returned to the stage in Beverly Hills this year, while Rancid will rock the Wynn Resort in Vegas on November 7.
Now in its sixth year, Tony Hawk: RIDE Presents Stand Up For Skateparks is the Tony Hawk Foundation’s annual family-centric action-sports carnival, featuring games, activities, food, auctions, A-list celebrities, special musical performances, and a Vert Demo with Tony and a crew of top-pro skaters and BMX riders on Tony’s personal ramp. An established must-see event in Beverly Hills, this will be the first time Tony Hawk: RIDE Presents Stand Up For Skateparks comes to the Las Vegas Strip.
Tony Hawk and fellow Benefit Committee members Sean Diddy Combs, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dana White, Jr., Ron Burkle, Michael Eisner, Andrew Pascal, Elaine Wynn, Lorenzo Fertitta, Frank Fertitta III, Robin Greenspun, Travis Barker, and Jeff Fine invite you to join them for the 6th-annual Tony Hawk RIDE Presents Stand Up for Skateparks benefit for the Tony Hawk Foundation in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 7.
Tony Hawk RIDE Presents Stand Up For Skateparks is a family-centric action-sports carnival, featuring a Vert Skateboarding and BMX demo with Tony Hawk and other top pro athletes, interactive games, activities, music, and our live and silent auctions-all to support the creation of public skateparks for youth in low-income communities.
