RSM US LLP (RSM) – the leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services for the middle market – is pleased to host its 3rd annual Go Skate Day on June 21, 2024, in collaboration with the YMCA of San Diego County, as part of National Go Skateboarding Day. The event will be held in conjunction with Family Night at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA Skate Park from 5:00 – 8:00 pm.
The Family Night at Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA Skate Park, at 200 Saxony Rd. in Encinitas, will highlight skateboarding fun at any level and feature family activities, free refreshments, pizza, skateboard/roller skate/surf instruction, deck giveaways, crafts, raffles and live music by kids’ band “Trueblood the Band.” Well-known skateboarding photographer Grant Brittain will be capturing in-action shots of all the fun. The event also includes a Community Give-Back opportunity, where participants can donate old skateboard and roller skating equipment to be recycled.
“We know how important skateboarding is to the San Diego community, so we’re showing our support for the sport by hosting a fun night for kids of all ages,” said Justin Chaitin, a business director at RSM and avid skateboarding enthusiast. “The YMCA skate parks and programs cater to kids ages 6 – 12, so collaborating with the Y is one way we can give to the community and celebrate the youth who are spreading the positive impact of skateboarding.”
“All skill levels are welcome to participate, especially beginners and those who are interested but don’t know where to start,” said Mike Wilson, program director for the skate park. “At previous events, we have been honored to not only give back to the community, but share the sport of skateboarding with new area youth, and we thank RSM for its support of our community.”
Similar to past Go Skate Day events, new skateboard decks are given to YMCA youth members, based on their demonstration of characteristics such as caring, curiosity, collaboration, courageous, and critical thinking, which are the 5 C’s of RSM’s culture.
Parents are welcome at the event and all participants must wear a helmet and knee pads to skate. People interested in attending Go Skate Day should register on EventBrite at this link.
