By seeking the involvement of the youths, politicians, business leaders and civic groups in each community, the Foundation seeks to foster an environment of cooperation that demonstrates to youths the opportunities afforded by hard work and determination.

"We are proud of Activision's involvement with the Tony Hawk Foundation," said Bobby Kotick, Chairman and CEO of Activision.

Activision is committed to Tony's mission to bring, through skating, self-respect and self-confidence to the youths that need it most."
