Sheckler Foundation Hosts First Ever WCMX Adaptive Skate Contest

This past weekend, the Sheckler Foundation’s 9th Annual Skate For A Cause presented by Oakley, raised awareness and funds for the “Be the Change” initiative to support injured action sports athletes and children in need. Professsional skateboarders, sponsors, volunteers, non-profit organizations and loyal fans gathered at the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest to support Ryan Sheckler and the Sheckler Foundation. This year, the family-friendly event featured its first-ever Wheelchair Motocross (MCMX) and Adaptive Skate contests and topped off the awards ceremony by honoring Team Lilly Foundation with a $10,000 grant.
