We’re thrilled to announce that Create Now is the official nonprofit beneficiary of the upcoming Hoodlin Mania Skate Park Event, a dynamic community celebration blending skate culture, street art, and music with a mission to uplift local youth.
Taking place at El Sereno Rec Center on June 7th and Gilbert Lindsay Rec Center on June 14th, this two-part event promises to be an electrifying experience for all. From live performances and skate competitions to merch drops and interactive art zones, Hoodlin Mania is about more than just shredding—it’s about showing up for community, creativity, and change.
This isn’t just a party—it’s a purpose-driven movement. Proceeds from both events will benefit Create Now and directly support our mission of empowering underserved youth through transformative arts education. Every ticket purchased, every dollar donated, and every volunteer hour helps us reach more young people who deserve access to creative expression and mentorship.
We’re especially excited to be part of an event that reflects the spirit of the neighborhoods we serve—bold, expressive, and full of heart. From the vibrant energy of the El Sereno community to the legacy of artistic resistance in South Central, this event is grounded in real places, real people, and real impact.
