Skateboards can be expensive but ask anyone who has unwrapped one on Christmas Morning- it might be the best gift they ever received.
For me personally, skateboarding has undoubtedly changed my life. It has given me an amazing childhood, lifelong friendships, a job & especially it has given me a chance to make a difference in my community. I think it’s every skateboarder’s hope to pass that joy onto someone else.
The Completing Christmas program started in 2011 when our friend Brian Froustet asked if we knew two deserving skaters he could purchase skateboards for. That sparked the generosity in countless donors which has allowed us to donate over 350+ skateboards to kids all over the Lehigh Valley since then.
Thanks to our amazing community partner; Just Born, we're able to do things differently this year. For the 2025 Holiday Season, we already have 50 complete skateboards put together and ready to be given away to the community. But we need your help to get these boards to families who need them.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Do you know a child/teen who wants to learn to skate but who’s family may not be able to afford a new skateboard this Christmas?

The child in need doesn’t have to be family- maybe it’s a friend, a neighbor or a student in your school. The true meaning of this Holiday Season is finding ways to give to others rather than only receiving gifts for yourself.
In lieu of donations this year, we ask that you donate that money to other local organizations in our community that need our help this Holiday Season including: Second Harvest Food Bank, New Bethany, Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley or any other local organization that provides many an extra helping hand.
THANK YOU to all of the past, present & future supporters of the Completing Christmas Program. It's because of all of you that we can continue to make a difference here in the Lehigh Valley.
With love,
-Quintin
