May 29, 2010 (Lake Forest, CA) – Today some of the best skateboarders in the world joined Ryan Sheckler at the Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest for the Sheckler Foundation’s first Skate for a Cause event that raised thousands of dollars for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. It was one of those days when the skate community rallied to help others and had a lot of fun granting wishes, with three best trick contests, a demo and a skateboard carnival village with games and activities.
Two lucky kids’ wishes were granted this morning at etnies private skateboard training facility too – Jonathon’s wish was to skateboard with Ryan Sheckler, and Marissa wished to skate with Rob Dyrdek.
The total prize purse for the best trick contests was $10,000, and all the winners donated their prize money to Make-A-Wish! Sean Malto won $4,000 for the best trick on the 11-stair, Greg Lutzka got a $3,000 check for best trick on the center pieces and Ryan Sheckler earned $3,000 for the best trick on tranny.
While the final amount of the thousands of dollars raised is still being counted, the Sheckler Foundation’s Skate for a Cause presented by etnies, would like to thank all the sponsors that made the event possible! These generous sponsors were: ARF, Archie’s Ice Cream, Boneheads, EagleRider, Independent Truck Company, Kicker, Mission Skincare, Nixon, Oakley, Power Balance, Plan B Skateboards, Red Bull, Screamin Coupons, Tech Deck and The Wasserman Foundation.
The proceeds from these brands’ skateboard carnival village games, and food sales will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

why does the title have to be etnies and SHECKLER????
things like that bug me. he rides for etnies, so therefore he must have been involved.. so why put his name in the title?
im not hating on him, i just dont like that some companies really dont treat the entire team equally, considering they were all there for the same reasons.
