Go skateboarding at T-Mobile Park and get an exclusive Ichiro board
Skateboarding with the Mariners
To celebrate Ichiro Suzuki's induction into the MLB Hall of Fame, the Mariners are teaming up with a local skate shop and the nonprofit "Skate Like a Girl" to offer fans a limited-edition skateboard. Each purchase of the "Skate to the Plate" ticket package will also send a donation to the nonprofit, which is dedicated to promoting inclusivity in skateboarding.
SEATTLE, Wash. - The Seattle Mariners and several local skateboard organizations are teaming up this week to provide fans with an exclusive piece of history.
Last month, Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki was inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame.
How you can get an exclusive skateboard
What they're saying:
On Wednesday, Mariners fans have the opportunity to grab an exclusive skateboard in collaboration with 35th North Skate Shop.
"When you’re wearing a Mariners jersey, and you’re running the hat, you’re representing Seattle. In skateboarding, it’s so important to represent where you’re from," said Tony Croghan, owner of 35th North.
Three years ago, Croghan and the Mariners collaborated with the first "Skate to the Plate" event. The team at the skate shop built a half-pipe ramp inside T-Mobile Park.
This year, if you buy the "Skate to the Plate" package, you get an exclusive Ichiro Suzuki skateboard.
Buying a ticket also helps a local nonprofit.
"Each ticket sold, $5 goes to Skate Like a Girl," said Croghan.
Helping a local non-profit
Skate Like a Girl is a local non-profit that provides opportunities for young people of all backgrounds to get into skateboarding.
"Our whole mission is to create a more inclusive community through skateboarding. That’s kind of a fancy way of saying we’re trying to challenge who and how people skateboard," said Kristin Ebeling, executive director of Skate Like a Girl Seattle.
Skate Like a Girl will be at T-Mobile Park on Wednesday for the event, holding free skate lessons for fans and providing boards and helmets.
More than just the game
On top of the Skate to the Plate festivities on Wednesday, 35th North is holding a skate competition at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, at Lower Woodland Park in Greenlake.
There are several cash prizes available for the best tricks.
After the competition, 35th North will take on Black Market Skates in a softball game at Lower Woodland Park at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
