The Denver Skatepark near Little Raven and 20th street in Denver hosted Stronghold Society’s 2012 “Skate For Life” competition on July 14.
“Skate For Life” is a charity designed to benefit at-risk youth, particularly those of Native American descent, by promoting a healthy lifestyle through skate culture.
Stronghold Society founder Walt Pourier of Arvada, CO said the goal of “Skate For Life” is “to promote inclusiveness and a positive impact on youth of all races by incorporating artistic achievement, social change, innovation, education, and healthy way-of-life outlooks.”
