Skateland is proud to annouce its sponsorship and partnership with ThinkCure! the official charity of the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2008, Skateland has committed to a yearlong fundraising effort to benefit ThinkCure!.

In addition, the Flemings made a $5000 contribution to kick off the campaign. Please join us in supporting this great organization!
