Bridge to Skate is a "humanitarian organization that uses skateboarding and play to aid in the creation of life skills, promotion of health, fostering of peace, and the education of cultural differences internationally." At least that's how they define themselves on the Bridge to Skate website!
They help build skateparks in depressed areas, give out skateboards, pads and shoes, and try and help out communities. They're like a non-religious skateboarding missions organization! They are building a school in Honduras, and provide skateboarding scholarships.
If this sounds like something you would like to get involved in, you can donate money, sponsor skaters, and / or help by volunteering time! Email them at info@bridgetoskate.org for more info.
You can also e-mail them if you want to be sponsored, or if you would like to get help getting a skatepark built in your town. Remember that they focus on kids and communities that really need help, so don't be disappointed if they can't help you right away - but this is what they are here to do, and it never hurts to ask!!
