SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk

Our guests this morning are Stacey Held from the SKECHERS Foundation and Silas Cole from the Friendship Foundation.

Stacey Held has been with the SKECHERS Foundation since 2013 and is the Public Relations Manager for the SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk.

Silas Cole has been the Programs Director since 2013 at the Friendship Foundation, a non-profit organization providing social-recreational programs for kids and young adults with special needs.

Started in 2009 by SKECHERS President, Michael Greenberg, the Pier to Pier Friendship Walk has raised over $5.5 million to support children with special needs and public education. Today, the SKECHERS Friendship Walk is the largest charity event in California that supports these two causes; with over 13,000 participants joining for SKECHERS’ signature charity event in 2015 alone. Funds raised from the Walk support The Friendship Foundation, an organization that assists children with special needs and their families through one-on-one peer mentoring and social recreational programming – as well as funding education foundations to retain vital academic programs, maintain smaller class sizes, improve libraries, and upgrade school technology.

This morning, we’re going to get all the details on the eighth annual SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk which takes place on Sunday, October 23 at 9 a.m. at the Manhattan Beach Pier.
