The nonprofit Skateboard Moms Inc. is proud to present their fifth annual charity event, the MIGHTY MAMA SKATE-O-RAMA™, Sunday May 11th (Mother's Day) at the Laguna Niguel skateboard park in Orange County, Calif.
The MIGHTY MAMA SKATE-O-RAMA™ is party on wheels for Women Who Dare To Have Fun. The event features skateboarding women of all ages and abilities, in a non-competitive, family-friendly atmosphere. You don't have to be a "mom" to participate--all women are welcome, along with any and all supporters, male or female, young or old.
The action begins at 10 am, with introduction of the Skate Moms at 11 am. As always, this year's event will feature another Rockin' Raffle of great skate gear and other cool goods with proceeds benefitting La Habra-based Rosie's Garage, an afterschool program for kids in need.
This year's Official Mighty Mama Honoree is '70s freestyle legend Ellen (Oneal) Deason, who will be present at the event! For more on Ellen, click below to see her featured in a classic Skateboarding magazine's "Who's Hot!" feature:
