Sunday afternoon, Tony Hawk held his fifth-annual Stand Up For Skateparks fundraiser in Beverly Hills, just two days after appearing on the Bonnie Hunt show.
An impressive list of Hawk's buds—including Shaun White, Gretchen Bleiler, Perry Ferrell, Mia Hamm, Mat Hoffman, Bucky Lasek and David Spade—showed up to help the skateboard legend raise more than $1 million to build skateparks in low-income communities, including $78,000 to kick start a project in Tierrasanta, Calif., Hawk's childhood hometown. Mia Hamm donated a soccer experience for 10 young girls, which sold for $55,000. A skate experience with Ryan Sheckler—at his new 9,000-square-foot indoor skate park—went for $30,000. During the
