LA’s Summer Night Lights Program and Soles4Souls combine forces!
In 2008 Mayor Villaraigosa launched the Summer Night Lights program in an effort to lower gang activity during the summer months. From June until September local parks have extended hours until midnight. Traditionally the summer months have the highest levels of gang activity.
On Saturday September 5, 2009 the Summer Night Lights Program, VANS shoes and Soles4Souls are combining forces to celebrate the success of the Mayor’s program. From 2-7pm at the Jackie Tatum Harvard Recreation Center there will be a skateboarding contest. I will be representing Soles4Souls as a celebrity judge. The winners of the skateboarding competition will be rewarded with new shoes from VANS!
