Skater To Start 3,000-Mile Cross-Country Journey In Venice
Skateboarder and YouTuber Chad Caruso is set to embark on a 3,000-mile skate across the United States beginning on March 24, 2023, for a period of about two months. Starting at the Venice Beach Skatepark in Los Angeles, CA, his epic voyage will culminate at Virginia Beach Oceanfront, VA
Skateboarders and fans are welcome to accompany Chad on the first mile of his excursion at the Venice Beach Skatepark in Los Angeles on March 24, 2023, at 10am PDT.
The purpose of Chad’s expedition is to raise awareness for mental health and youth addiction. A portion of the funds raised during his journey will be donated to Natural High, a non-profit organization for the prevention of drug addiction. Donations can be made to Chad’s GoFundMe.
"Take Surf Lessons To Learn Fundamentals."
“Hey everyone, my name is Chad Caruso and I’m a skateboarder from Long Island, New York, and on March 24th, 2023 I will begin skateboarding 3,000+ miles across America to raise money for addiction awareness.
I have been sober for six years now and doing so has completely changed my life for the better. I wouldn’t have been able to attempt this skate across the country without the energy and focus that sobriety has given me. The goal of this fundraiser is to highlight the importance of having something passionate in your life to focus on.
25% of the money raised will be donated to Natural High, a drug prevention nonprofit that inspires and empowers youth to find their natural high and develop the skills and courage to live life well.
Thank you for being a part of this! It means more to me than you could ever know. ”
