510 Skateshop's "Treasure Island Fundraiser" Photos
3/20/2020
When the recent craze for the Travis Scott Dunks bombarded and shut down their normal lottery for shoe releases, the owners of 510 Skateshop, Jerry and Dandy, came up with an idea to keep the crowd at bay while also doing some good for the local scene. When all was said and done, the Berkeley shop made the single largest cash donation to the Treasure Island DIY—over $30,000! They sold raffle tickets for 20 bucks a pop, and rather than pocketing the extra cash raised, they paid it forward to the park. Want a pair of the hottest kicks? Buy a raffle ticket. Didn't win? Your money still goes to something good. That’s a win-win. After celebrating its third year in operation, the park now has a boost to help with additions and maintenance for at least a few more to come. Check the photos to see how we celebrated with the beautiful beneficiary of these funds. —Dylan Christopher

Jumping right in, let’s give a big round of applause for 510 and its crew for pulling this thing off
The 510 Dream Team. Wonder how many hoodies you have to sell to make that kind of cash
There’s gonna be an extension right… there
Dandy says all checks must be this tall to enter
Locking down the dough and locing out with some of the best in the Bay Area
Elad and Josh probably trying to get some measurements for the additions
Three in the books with many more to come
Josh takes in another bright, beautiful day on the Island
Let’s breathe in the park as it stands now
If you build it, they will come
And then through some serious labor and ingenuity they will also throw $30k your way to keep the magic alive
We miss ‘em every day. You know they’re loving every hang up and hammer that goes down on these walls
Don’t tell the BMX bros there’s a concrete double on the Island
Skate at your own risk and watch out for wet ‘crete
If you can’t Keep It Rolling, you can at least help insulate the park
Oh yeah, we almost forgot to skate! Teddy Seeley kicks things off by flipping the hip
And when he’s not completely annihilating rainbow rails, he likes to catch a rare quaterpipe noseslide
Tyler Chew looks mean in green hitting a back tail under a matching light pole
And he eats fruit? Guess he stays lean in green too
That’s it for now. We’ll be back at the park in the near future for many more sessions to come. Thank you again and again, Jerry, Dandy and the rest of the 510 Skateshop crew for trying something outside the box and giving back at the same time. Thank you also to the folks at Nike SB and everyone who participated in the raffle.
