Fall is a great season for awards and write-ups!  Skate Like a Girl was recently featured in Seattle’s Child Magazine, and board chair Nancy Chang will be receiving the Seattle Parks Denny Award, for her volunteer work with Skate Like a Girl and creating the Youth Employment Skateboarding program.

The Seattle’s Child article features the Metteer Family, and photos from volunteer Hollyanne Faber.  It’s a great article that looks at the growing popularity of skateboarding among kids, and how supportive parents are of the sport.

The Denny Award is also another great benchmark on how communities are excited about skateboarding and skateboarders.  Nancy is really excited about the award and is honored to be able to work with Skate Like a Girl volunteers and the Seattle Skateboarding community.  She believes that the award is a testament to the strong and growing skate scene in Seattle.  If you are in the Seattle area November 29th 6-8pm and would like to attend the awards ceremony – please RSVP with John.Kimble@seattle.gov.
