We are currently raising money for Coach Jon. For those of you who didn't know him, Jon was an extraordinary human. He touched the lives of so many people through the things he loved most, skateboarding and music. He was taken from us too soon, but it is our mission to create a legacy of his life and love by building a skate spot and music venue that honors Jon’s spirit and continues his legacy of teaching and inspiration.
Currently we have secured a 10,000 sqft space close to downtown Ft Lauderdale. It will house the Mad Skate Shop and the SBG skate spot and music venue, named after the brand Jon started while he was alive. This space will serve as a place for artists and skaters to gather and build skills and community together. Most of all it’s a place for Jon’s spirit to live on as we continue the work he started. He didn’t just teach kids how to skate, he engrained in them a sense of pride, work ethic and belonging - the things we know our children need to succeed in life.
Our mission is clear - to continue and expand upon the work Jon started and honor his life and keep his memory alive. We have found a space that we know can serve that mission well. Now we need help to fill the space with everything the community needs to bring this vision to life. Help us honor Jon’s life by building a legacy for the community. We will be creating a dedication wall in the space to acknowledge all contributions over $100. Let’s fill the walls with names so Jon can see the love and support he showed this community did not go unnoticed.
Get your neighbors and friends and companies involved. It takes a village!
