Kip Moore Helps Fund Skate Parks
Country Singer Kip Moore is helping fund the ‘Comeback Kid Skatepark Project’. It’s part of his charitable fund, ‘Kip’s Kid Fund’.
Last month in Annapolis, Maryland the first of four skate parks he is helping to fund opened. Another park opened in San Marcos, Texas and two more will open in Nashville, Tennessee and Boston, Massachusetts.
Moore says ‘skating is a brotherhood community’ and in a lot of the areas where they are building skate parks, kids are dealing with all kinds of different problems. He wants to make a safe place where kids can go, something they can be proud of.
“I see it hopefully being a nationwide thing,” Moore said of his charitable fund. “Hopefully we can expand this thing and turn it into a million different projects, not just skating, but all kinds of things in the inner cities.”
Some skate parks are being built but in the case of Annapolis, improvements were made to an existing skate park. One Annapolis skateboarder said the improvements have already started to draw skaters back to the park. Mayor Mike Pantelides even tested the new ramps during the opening, even though he fell off the board several times.
