DIY SPIRIT. CREW ENERGY. COMMUNITY IMPACT.
We believe skateboarding builds stronger, healthier communities. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Cowtown S.K.A.T.E. expands access to the physical, mental, and social health benefits of skateboarding by providing resources, education, and support to underserved youth.
DO IT WITH YOUR CREW
THE HEART OF SKATEBOARDING IS COMMUNITY!
From day one, skateboarding has thrived on a DIY ethos of imagination, determination, and resilience that has turned curb cuts into ramps, and obstacles into opportunities. But every skater knows that DIY really means Do It With Your Crew!
Skateboarding unites people from all walks of life around creativity, exploration, and achievement. That's why our mission is simple: to build community, create opportunities, and support skaters of every background.
