WHAT: Can’d Aid volunteers will build 70 skateboards on Aug. 17 at MOAB Bike Shop to be donated to 4th and 5th graders at Hull Jackson Elementary in Nashville. The in-person donation event at Hull Jackson Elementary on Aug. 18 will include a live demonstration to provide a few tips and tricks, as well as inspiration to encourage the kids to get active outside.
WHEN:
Skateboard Build - Aug. 17 5-7 pm
Donation - Aug, 18, 1:30-2:30 pm
WHERE:
Skateboard Build - MOAB Bike Shop (103 S 11th St, Nashville, TN 37206)
Donation - Hull Jackson Elementary School (1015 Kellow St, Nashville, TN 37208)
MEDIA OPP: Media are invited to attend the skateboard build and the donation event. A representative from the hosting organization, non-profit Can'd Aid, will be available for interviews at both events.
WHY: Children average 7 hours of screen time per day and only 1 in 5 gets the daily recommended amount of exercise. Through its Treads + Trails program, Can’d Aid helps combat these troubling statistics. Can’d Aid has donated more than 2,000 bikes and skateboards nationally to students in the past year. At a time when our nation’s youth are experiencing extreme levels of anxiety, depression and mental health issues, Can’d Aid’s programs provide healthy and active outlets for underserved and at-risk children across the country.
