Participating in this sponsorship deal:
About Sponsor:
Body Glove International, LLC is a major surf/skateboard/watersports brand started in the United States. Body Glove was founded in 1953 by twin brothers Bill and Bob Meistrell. The brothers invented the very first practical wetsuit in the early 1950s in the back of their Redondo Beach, California surf shop, Dive N' Surf. From those wetsuits Body Glove began to branch out into other product categories, they now make: wetsuits, swimsuits, clothing, shoes, life vests, sunglasses, wakeboards, towables, backpacks and snorkeling equipment. The company wanted to be able to give people product options for every watersport they participated in.
About Property:
The fourth annual SKECHERS Pier to Pier Walk will feature celebrity appearances by Dancing with the Stars’ Brooke Burke-Charvet, Hall of Fame baseball legend Tommy Lasorda and fitness enthusiast Denise Austin. Since its 2009 launch, the walk has raised $1.2 million to help retain vital educational curricula, maintain smaller class sizes, upgrade technology and preserve high-quality programs, as well as support The Friendship Circle (www.gotfriends.com) – an organization that nurtures, inspires and includes children and young adults with special needs and their families through friendships with teen volunteers, valuable programs and events in their community. The SKECHERS Pier to Pier Walk will be held this year on October 28th in Manhattan Beach, California.
