Pierre André Senizergues, owner and CEO of etnies, hosted etnies’ Third Annual Holiday Festival at the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest last Friday, Dec. 15, and gave away 569 pairs of shoes to less fortunate kids who really needed them. The entire Sole Technology Crew, along with Santa, Mrs. Claus and etnies team riders, came out to ring in the holiday season and hook up the kids with new etnies. At the celebration, which marked the third anniversary of the skatepark, etnies also announced that Pierre André has yet again made a generous donation of $30,000 to keep the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest FREE for another year!
“Growing up in Paris, I couldn’t afford to go to a skatepark,” said Pierre André. “So I told myself if I ever had the opportunity to provide kids a free environment to skate, I would do whatever it takes to support them and skateboarding!”
The following pros came out and put on an amazing demo that the kids won’t soon forget:
etnies: Lauren Perkins, Ryan Sheckler, Ronnie Creager
éS: Rick McCrank, Justin Eldridge, Danny Garcia
Emerica: Leo Romero, Austin Stephens
etnies is proud to be a part of something so meaningful to the community, and we look forward to the years to come.
