Jesse James
Back in 2008, The Sheckler Foundation was created as an avenue for Ryan Sheckler, his family, friends, and business associates to give back to the community. The foundation is fueled by the desire to contribute to the many causes that directly benefit the lives of children and injured action sports athletes.
The foundation produces fundraising events, passion projects, and web-based initiatives to raise capital and awareness. Today, the Sheckler Foundation is back with some big news. The foundation is proud to welcome Chris Joslin as the newest skateBOARD member. Chris joins Ryan Sheckler, Christian Hosoi, Fabrizio Santos, and Manny Santiago. As well as Oscar Loreto Jr., David Reyes, and the Sheckler Foundation on its mission to “Be the Change.”
Giving Back!
Mr. Joslin has forged his way to the top, taking the industry by surprise with his introduction in Plan B TRUE. Chris has four X Games medals, timeless video parts and Instagram edits to date, and he hasn’t stopped since. Ryan Sheckler spoke about Chris and stated: “I’m excited to welcome Chris as a skateBOARD member. I’ve seen Chris grow on and off the board over the last five years. It’s a blessing to have him backing the Sheckler Foundation and to see him help others in need.”
Chris Joslin also opened up about the news. He stated: “I’m super stoked to be part of such a rad group of individuals whose focus is to give back!” As a Sheckler Foundation SkateBOARD member, Chris has taken on the responsibility to help support and promote the Sheckler Foundation’s projects and to enrich the lives of others.
The partnership between the foundation and Chris will allow greater exposure and assist more people to “Be the Change” they want to see in the world.
