2nd Annual Nightmare on Skate Street
Nightmare on Skate Street: A Night to Remember
The 2nd Annual Nightmare on Skate Street was nothing short of extraordinary. Founded and created by Bee Smith Jr., this event was hosted at Putty Hill Skateland and sponsored by the Born to Bmore Foundation and the B ALL IN Mentorship Program. This event has quickly become a cornerstone of Baltimore’s community calendar. On a crisp fall evening, Putty Hill Skateland was transformed into a vibrant celebration of Halloween spirit and community unity, bringing together families, youth, and supporters for an unforgettable experience.
A Night of Fun, Safety, and Connection
The mission of Nightmare on Skate Street goes beyond Halloween costumes and thrilling activities. It’s about creating safe and engaging spaces for Baltimore’s youth to thrive, connect, and feel seen. The energy of the night was palpable as kids laced up their skates, enjoyed themed activities, and celebrated in an environment filled with positivity and support.
“This isn’t just an event; it’s a chance for our young people to be a part of something special,” shared Shabrea Smith, reflecting on the impact of the evening. Her words encapsulate the heart of Nightmare on Skate Street – it’s about fostering joy and belonging.
Celebrating Community
The event’s success was made possible by the dedication of its organizers and the overwhelming support of the community. Sequoia Smith captured the night’s essence perfectly: “Seeing so many young people having fun, connecting, and just being themselves – it’s why we do this.” From the smallest goblin to the most enthusiastic skater, everyone felt the magic of the evening.
A major sponsor, Kesha Smith Transition with Trust, played a pivotal role in ensuring the event’s success, helping to bring the vision of Nightmare on Skate Street to life. Parents and mentors expressed gratitude for a safe, exciting space where their children could enjoy themselves. With every costume contest, every glide across the rink, and every moment of shared laughter, the purpose of the event came to life: to empower Baltimore’s youth and bring the community closer together.
A Commitment to Giving Back
“This is about giving back, about showing our youth that we’re here for them,” said Sylvia Mack-James, reflecting on the commitment behind the Born to Bmore Foundation and the B ALL IN Mentorship Program. These organizations continue to play a vital role in shaping the lives of Baltimore’s youth, offering mentorship, resources, and experiences that leave a lasting impact.
Looking Ahead
As the night came to a close, the success of the 2nd Annual Nightmare on Skate Street left attendees already looking forward to next year. This event is more than just a Halloween celebration; it’s a reminder of the power of community and the importance of creating spaces where youth can thrive.
