WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Barbecue smoke, the crack of skateboard wheels on a halfpipe, live music in the late-summer air — and a mission that’s as serious as it is inspiring.

For $35–$50 a ticket, kids 12 and younger are free, guests can savor a feast catered and donated by Sandy James Catering, enjoy music by Surfer Blood and School of Rock Boca Raton, take croquet lessons, bounce in a Jupiter Bounce inflatable, and even try skateboarding alongside World Skateboarding Champion Alessandro “Alex” Sorgente. Skateboard Pro Mike Rogers will be running clinics and a “best tricks” competition with prizes for riders of all levels…
