Low-Income Youth in Marin City Roll for Free at Skate Giveaway
Melinda Speer, a professional ice skater who also enjoys roller skating, helped several of the children learn to skate.
Sharika Gregory, president of Just Armour, hosted the “Just Give Love Skate” event at The Golden Gate Skate Park on the corner of Drake and Donahue in Marin City on Saturday, March 27. About 30 people came to the event, and mostly enjoyed the weather eating ice cream, tried on new skates, and skated in the park.
Twenty-four pairs of brand new, high–end, Moxi-Jackson-Chaya roller skates were given to youth who could not afford to buy skates on their own.
Oshalla Diane Marcus and the MC Art and Culture Art Galleryhelped to customize several pairs of skates.
Many of the people were new at roller skating and were assisted by the other skaters, including an older man who was learning how to skate again and other children. Melinda Speer, a professional ice skater who also enjoys roller skating, helped several of the children learn to skate.
Concerning the skating event, Gregory said, “We skate to demonstrate that love is innate and that we should not hate, which the world has taught us to perpetrate. We hold each other up so we won’t fall, and guide each other, as we courageously explore new terrain, before us all.”
