The annual SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk on October 28th aims to support children with special needs and education and at the same time it helps and it helps us raise funds for all of our RBUSD schools.
RBEF is one of six Education Foundations that receive funds from this event. Last year, RBEF had over 2,500 registered walkers which resulted in a check from Skechers for $200,000. RBEF will donate 100% of every $30 registration fee back to your school! The more registrations, the more money your school raises. There is NO NEED to make additional donations. If you want to give more, please consider purchasing another registration.
The amount we receive is based on the number of people who register, so please join your school's team regardless of whether you are planning to actually walk on the day! Join a team here: https://rbef.org/skechers-walk/
The event check in begins at 8AM at the Manhattan Beach Pier, and the opening ceremony and walk will begin at 9AM. The total duration of the Walk is about 3.5 miles - from Manhattan Beach Pier towards the Hermosa Beach Pier and then turn around back towards Manhattan Beach Pier. Registration is $30 (for adults and kids 3 and up), and $35 for day-of check in.
The walk is produced by SKECHERS USA and co-produced by The Friendship Foundation. The SKECHERS Foundation invests in organizations dedicated to embracing individuals with special needs, improving education and empowering disadvantaged youth. Our goal is simply to inspire and support individuals to make a valiant effort in creating community. The Friendship Foundation exists aims to bring happiness and companionship to children and young adults with special needs by celebrating their uniqueness and individuality.
