ABOUT US
LPSTK Inc. began with a simple moment — watching a group of kids in Brazil share one skateboard, taking turns, cheering each other on. That single board sparked a movement.
We’re a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) dedicated to giving every child the chance to ride, learn, and belong. Through #CompletesForKids, we deliver skateboards, clothes, shoes, and school supplies to children across Latin America and the U.S., helping them build resilience, confidence, and joy.

How it started
While spending time skating and bonding with the youth in Brazil the team realized there was an opportunity to connect with these kids in a more impactful way.
Skateboarding is powerful. It teaches kids how to fall, how to get back up, and then do it over and over again. Their resiliency will be tested. If a kid discovers a passion for skateboarding then the benefits are immeasurable: physical, mental, educational, social, artistic, technical, and the list is endless.
Featured volunteer
Professional skateboarder Marlon Silva is the heartbeat of LPSTK. As seen here in Thrasher -Exploring different terrains across Brazil and taking on the most feared spots in Porto Alegre, Marlon — alongside Felipe Humphreys — shows what it means to push boundaries, skating with power across all types of terrain, tricks, and obstacles.“Vai ter que lutar” (“You’ll have to fight”) is all about hard work and real-life experience. Every trick is a battle won. Every fall, a lesson learned. In skateboarding, fighting isn’t an option — it’s part of the ride.
#completesforkids
At LPSTK, a skateboard is more than wood and wheels — it represents freedom, resilience, and joy. Our #CompletesForKids campaign unites partners, donors, and supporters every year to collect and give skateboards, shoes, backpacks, and school supplies to kids who need them most. Together, we turn every board, every t-shirt, every donated item into opportunity for children in Brazil, Mexico, and the U.S.
