In the wake of the devastating Palisades fire that destroyed Paliskates, global music superstar Avril Lavigne is teaming up with the iconic local skate shop for a limited edition sweatshirt release.
The complete proceeds will go directly to support the rebuilding and reopening of Paliskates.
"Paliskates is more than a store—it's a place where skaters and artists have called home for over 25 years," said Lavigne. "After meeting Erica and hearing her story, I knew I wanted to continue our relationship further. It's going to take years to rebuild the community that was lost, but I know the community is strong and with businesses like Paliskates leading the way it will come back stronger. Doing this merch drop is one piece of helping them regain what the fire took away."
The exclusive merch drop, set to go live on May 6 at 8 am ET, features a custom-designed sweatshirt.
