With the $5,000 that The Bay received from the Strive to Thrive Lincoln grant, they were able to provide free skate sessions and Saturday Skate Schools to 139 active All-Access Passholders, providing marginalized youth in the Lincoln community with a positive and productive place to be during high-risk hours.

One parent of a passholder told The Bay, "my son worked and mowed lawns this summer to buy his first skateboard, and having this All-Access Pass means the world to him." The BAY thanks Strive to Thrive Lincoln for helping make moments like this happen!
