Hidden Gems Day presented by Breezewood Floors and Fanshawe College.
We are profiling 100% Skateboarder Sk8 Club.
Brian Timmons opened up the Ontario Chapters of the club, whose main goal is to provide free skateboards and equipment to kids in the community who may otherwise not be able to get one.
For Timmons, he remembers going around the neighbourhood on the little banana boards and eventually it lead to him taking up skateboarding as a passion.
He wants to spark that same enthusiasm and that feeling of escape for kids.
He said the club continues to grow, and he’s happy to be leading the charge in our area and helping these kids.
Timmons gets the skateboards and equipment to the kids through donations and, time to time, from his own pocket to make sure the kids get the best set up they can.
With that, he is always willing to work with the community and businesses where he can to try and help as many kids as possible.
If you know a child who would benefit from a skateboard, you can reach out to him through Facebook or email at 100sk8clubontariocanada@gmail.com
