Earlier this year The Watercraft Journal was on the scene at the 2018 Watercraft Superstore Skyway Ski Show to record some behind-the-scenes action.
As always, this show is certainly a blast for everyone involved and this year even the kids got to benefit. For 2018, Watercraft Superstore donated $5000 of the Skyway Ski Show proceeds to the children’s charity Clothes to Kids.
Clothes to Kids is a non-profit entity located in the Clearwater, Florida area that organizes the collection of clothing donations for children in need of clean clothing to wear to school. Their mission is to provide new and quality used clothing to low-income or in crisis school-age children, free of charge.
In 2017 alone, the Clothes to Kids organization provided more than 10,000 school wardrobes to kids in Pinellas County. With their continuing expansion as well as with helpful donations such as proceeds from Watercraft Superstore-hosted Skyway Ski Show, more kids will be able to receive the clothing they desperately need.
According to the Clothes to Kids organization, research shows that children who go to school wearing clothes that make them feel like they fit in perform better academically than those who don’t.
We are certainly glad to see those in the personal watercraft community come together for good causes such as this. For more information, check out the Pickren outreach article here.
