EVENTS
Skechers Pier-to-Pier Friendship Walk
Sunday, October 19, 2025 · Manhattan Beach Pier
Check-in: 8am · Start: 9am
REGISTRATION
Not available on October 19th? Register as a Virtual Walker!
Key Points to Consider when Registering:
- Our schools get rewarded for every registration, not for the total amount donated. To help us raise the most money, please register multiple participants — including friends, family, and even pets! For example, if you plan to donate $120, registering 4 people at $30 each helps the school more than one person donating $120.
- You do not have to walk to make an impact. Your registration is the key to our success, and a “virtual walker” is just as impactful as a physical one. Feel free to participate from the sidelines, knowing your registration is directly helping our students.
- Skechers will match every registration up to 4x — making each one a great investment in our schools.
- We’re thrilled to announce new prizes and incentives! This year, we’re celebrating the entire community with special rewards for room parents, grade-level coordinators, principals, teachers, and students.
Last year, the Skechers Friendship Walk raised $269,812 for Hermosa Schools — the largest sum ever for HVS. Let’s make this year’s impact even bigger. Register now!

- IMPORTANT: For question #2…
I would like my contribution to support: please select Hermosa Beach Education Foundation.
To register additional family members on the same team, you can do so while logged in. But to register additional family members on different teams, you will need to log out, then choose “Join as New Participant,” and choose a different username for that person. You can use the same email address, mailing address, credit card, etc., but you will need a new username.
