UK Skateboarding hits the Jackpot 02/15/21
Skateboarding across the UK is set to benefit from money donated by Jackpot; the purpose led independent peanut butter brand. Skateboard GB will receive a percentage of every product sold of Rough-Cut peanut butter by Jackpot, with the money providing funding for DIY and skateable spaces across the country.
Jackpot was originally created as a fictional peanut butter brand on a T-shirt for skate company APN created by Founder Rupert Leigh. As the idea grew, Rupert decided that actually making peanut butter for real as a way to offer a great tasting nutritious product and at the same time generate support and donations to grassroots skate and music culture was the way forward. A big believer in the importance of a thriving grassroots skate and music culture, he recognised the need for investment to skateable spaces and agreed that a percentage of turnover would help to build and protect these skateboard areas.
