eBay Giving Works to sell Tony Hawk boards for nonprofit fundraising

"The eBay Giving Works program is scheduled to launch a nonprofit fundraising auction on December 5, 2013 to the benefit of the Tony Hawk Foundation. Skateboards donated by Tony Hawk and some of his well-known friends will be sold to the highest bidders. The skateboards will also feature lyrics of the donors’ favorite songs, written on the items by their respective bands or musicians. The auction aims to raise money for the initiatives of the Tony Hawk Foundation, which supports and empowers today’s youth in various disadvantaged communities. The foundation will use the proceeds to fund the creation of public skateboarding parks to help keep kids away from mischief and encourage them to live healthy and active lifestyles. "
