Mighty Mama Skate-O-Rama celebrates moms while raising funds for abused children

The15th annual Mighty Mama Skate-O-Rama takes place Sunday, May 13, at Laguna Niguel Skateboard & Soccer Park. The event is hosted by Skateboard Moms & Sisters of Shred, a Santa Ana-based nonprofit group that empowers women through skateboarding, and features skateboarding moms from Sweden, Switzerland and throughout the U.S.

Funds raised through the Rockin’ Raffle go toward supporting the Waymakers, a Santa Ana-based organization that helps children and teens rescued from human trafficking and other forms of abuse. The raffle’s grand prize includes the “Shred With The Legends” package, which allows the winner and five friends enjoy a day of skating with skateboarding biggest legends, including Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi of Huntington Beach and Lance Mountain of Seal Beach (this session takes place later this summer).

Attendees can meet the 2018 Honorees, Deanna Calkins and Vicki Vickers, who rode for the Orange County-based Hobie Skateboard Team in the 1970s and ’80s.
