Wrapping up 2011, earlier this Holiday season, a select group of kids from Next Up Foundation had the very special privilege of skating at The Berrics skatepark in Los Angeles! This exclusive, private park is a dream destination of any skater, and the kids at Next Up were very happy to have to chance to go there. Santa Claus also made a guest appearance to skate, hand out some presents, and spread Christmas cheer throughout the session. Everyone had fun skating and was honored just to be there. A huge thanks to Steve Berra, Kevin Fernley from the Berrics, and also Josh Friedberg for filming our session! Happy New Year everyone!

Next Up Foundation was recently given a donation of 10 complete skateboards from Board Rescue, a non-profit organization that supplies other organizations like Next Up with boards, helmets and pads to help reach children in low-income areas. Their donation could not have come at a better time for Next Up as we are low on supplies for our skaters! We would like to extend a huge thank you to Board Rescue for their help, and we encourage you to check them out as well and support their great cause at boardrescue.org
