In 2023, Todlena in Nawazo Nation/to Gray Hills, NM’s remote city opened its only outdoor Entertainment Location: Deen Skate GardenSince then, Skate Park has become a community collected location and according to local organizers, Dena (Nawazo) is a way of being active, expressing himself and finding the community.

Many of those youths will soon have another external opportunity – this time, to cut off the skateboard. Diné Skate Garden Project in collaboration with 4kindship and rolling thunder supply company plans to distribute 2,000 skateboards and helmets for this decline.

To meet that target, the organization needs to raise $ 100,000. It is followed for the group First attempt in 2023 Provide thousands of dinner youth to open skate park and skate equipment.

It was launched recently Online campaign So far, its $ 100,000 has increased by more than $ 9,000, and the organizers are expected to meet their funding target soon-and take advantage of the current 90-day window to order boards without increasing additional costs from Trump’s tariffs.

Honoring land, art, kinship

The Deen Skate Garden Project comes from the Amy Dedate Deal, the founder of the abusive dress and the homeware brand 4kinship founder. The Denet Deal worked as a designer for major brands such as Reebok and Puma. As an adopted child, he did not discover his poor heritage until later in life, and established 4kinships to celebrate indigenous cultures and traditions. The brand describes its ethos as a respect for land, art and kinship, creating economic opportunities for indigenous communities.

The confidence of the Dedate Deal in the positive capacity of skateboarding inspired him to find a skateboarding project. By providing Nawajo youth with easy access to this entertainment opportunity, the initiative not only promotes their physical and mental health, but also forms deep bonds and community relations.

“Skateboarding is a transformational experience,” Dedate Deal said in a press release. “We are ready to make this vision a reality, but we need our community support to bring this impressive opportunity to life.”

With the infrastructure and limited resources lacking on the Nawazo nation, traditional team for youth is a logical challenge to organize sports. Therefore, the personal and flexible nature of skateboarding makes it adapt to the region.

The 4kinship rolling thunder will partner with the supply company, who is a leader in the skateboard industry, to distribute boards to the youth of Nawajo nation in September. Rolling Thunder President Steve Douglas said he was proud to be part of the effort.

Douglas said in a news release, “Skateboarding doesn’t just change life – it saves them.” “What is 4kinship doing it is incredible, and we all need to come together to help affect life even more.”

This effort wants to build on pre -success that the Din Skate Garden Project has achieved in recent years. After opening Skate Park in 2023, it helped distribute 5,000 skateboards during the Nawazo Nation Fair Youth Days in 2024.

To help the funds in this next stage, the project has launched a community funding, with donations to cover the costs of skateboard, helmets and logistics. Those wishing to participate can recite Gcht on 707070 or at 707070 or Donate online,
