WHAT: Can’d Aid volunteers to build 81 skateboards for local youth
WHEN: Build event at 4-6 pm on Wednesday, 3/31
WHERE: New Image Brewing, 5622 Yukon St, Arvada, CO 80002
MEDIA OPP: Media are invited to attend the socially-distanced skateboard build. A representative from the hosting organization, Colorado-based non-profit Can'd Aid, will be available for interviews.
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.
