Celebrate Community and Creativity at the SK8ART Benefit Show in Denver

Denver’s creative spirit will shine bright this holiday season at the SK8ART Benefit Show, an all-ages celebration of skateboard art, fashion, and music with a heartfelt purpose. Set to take place on Sunday, December 22, 2024, from 2 PM to 6 PM at HQ (60 S. Broadway, Denver, CO), this free community event is more than just a showcase—it’s a tribute to the legacy of three beloved individuals who left an indelible mark on Denver’s music scene and service industry.

Honoring a Legacy with Purpose

The SK8ART Benefit Show honors Amanda Massey, Tommy Borrero, and Johnny Crow, whose influence extended far beyond their industries. The event will support their children, with all proceeds going toward empowering their futures through music, art, education, trade school, travel, sports, and more.

Event Highlights

  • Skateboard Art & Silent Auction
    Bid on unique, artist-designed skateboards and an array of donated items from local artists, venues, and retailers, including HQ, Oriental Theater, Levitt Pavilion, and more.
  • Live Music & Performances
    Groove to the beats of 3ADJ (Three Amigos Vinyl DJ) alongside special guest DJs, and catch a live performance by The Temper Tantrums, a family band featuring two of the beneficiaries.

Ahhhh yes….. it’s back to school time! It is an exciting time for many kids but for so many other kids, it’s not met with the same fun expectation of getting new school clothes and getting to pick out their backpack for the year. It’s often met with the stress of not being able to afford new clothes,  not fitting in, and not having what “all the other kids have.”

According to an article written in Patch.com, “More than 40 million Americans live below the poverty line, and of those facing such financial hardship, children are disproportionately affected. Nearly 12.6 million children under age 18 live in households with poverty-level income.”
