SEATTLE - One local shop in Seattle is hoping to collect enough donations to provide 50 kids with brand-new skateboards this holiday season.

Through Cowtown S.K.A.T.E., people can donate skateboards to children in underserved communities.

35th North Skate Shop is collecting donations both at its location on Pike Street in Seattle and through the Cowtown S.K.A.T.E. website.

The owner of 35th North Skate Shop, Tony Croghan, tells FOX 13 Seattle that a donation of $60 provides a skateboard — valued at around $200 — to a child in the area.

"There are a lot of kids out there looking, more than ever, for community, and I think that is super important no matter what," said Croghan.

Croghan and the staff at 35th North Skate Shop will deliver the donated skateboards to partnering nonprofits throughout the remainder of the holiday season. He says the shop’s goal this year is to donate 50 skateboards.
