Founders of Keep Kids Off the Streets receive $700 heat press to create T-shirts
Gardner News
GARDNER A local family that established an organization aimed at breaking the stereotype of skateboarding kids as troublemakers is being recognized for their efforts.
Eddie Vargas Sr. and Eddie Vargas Jr., who created the Keep Kids Off the Streets nonprofit six years ago, were among five recipients nationwide of the Stahl Family Small Business Fund Pure Imagination Scholarship, which is dedicated to helping small businesses grow by giving them extra tools and training they need to take their operation to the next level.
Vargas Sr. said his organization includes a group of teens from Gardner and Fitchburg who travel year-round to different skate parks across the state and encourage local skateboarders to keep away from drugs and remain in school. He said the idea for the nonprofit came to him after he purchased skateboards for his two sons, Eddie Jr. and Joshua.
