Skateboard Donation

Local nonprofit Can’d Aid is partnering with Medtronic employees to build 220 skateboards that will be donated to the entire 4th and 5th grade class at Escuela Bilingue Pioneer Elementary School in Lafayette, CO.

Through Can’d Aid’s program, more than 20,000 skateboards and bikes have been built and donated to children in disadvantaged communities across the country. For many of the children receiving a donation, this will be their very first skateboard– providing a valuable opportunity to get outside and active.

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. 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.
