The Ryan Sheckler Golf Tournament

What an incredible day! The 18th Annual Ryan Sheckler Golf Tournament – Backwoods Invitational brought together an amazing group of friends, golfers, athletes, sponsors, and supporters for a day we won’t soon forget. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect setting than Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club—the natural beauty of the course and our Backwoods theme came together better than we ever envisioned.  After 18 tournaments, we continue to be truly humbled by the sponsors and supporters who show up for us year after year, along with the new friends who join our mission along the way.

Your generosity and belief in the Sheckler Foundation are what make this event—and the work we do—possible. The Sheckler Foundation utilizes the transformative power of skateboarding to enrich the lives of foster youth and adaptive youth, and to inspire confidence, community, and philanthropy in the next generation.

18 tournaments. Countless memories. One incredible community. Thank you for continuing this journey with us.
