$0.01 is NOT the amount of money this charity receives. Our program requires that every item in your cart has a value.

As always, the charity you choose receives 100% of the profit from your purchase.

The A.skate Foundation is a (pending) 501(c)3 non profit that allows children with autism to be a part of our social world through skateboarding. We hold clinics for children with autism at no cost to the families, give grants to children with autism for skateboard gear, as well as promote awareness and educate families about the skateboard industry. Five years ago 1:150 children were diagnosed with autism. Today 1:91 children are diagnosed with autism, 1:58 of those being boys according to the statistics on TACA now.

Here are a few of the things that we do:

* hold clinics nationwide for children with autism at no cost to the families
* give "Grants for Gear" for kids to purchase skateboard gear
* hold fundraisers and events to promote our cause

Autism, like skateboarding, can be unpredictable and often times unruly. We embrace the parts of autism that are hard to understand and give these kids an outlet that is free of rules or judgment, and allows them to be social without being “social”.
