The Maloofs Providing Skaters With Health Insurance

How often do you witness one of your friends breaking his leg, or his arm, or sometimes his groin and he is left to be injured without any medical insurance? Well in the country where life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is supposed to rein supreme, many of our friends GROINS are still broken. That is why it is great to see the Maloof Brothers from Las Vegas Nevada and the creators of the MALOOF MONEY CUP really backing skaters 100%. Not only have they already created the most exciting, most anticipated, and most prize money event in the world, but they absolutely are looking out for the skaters’ health.
So while their basketball team, the SACRAMENTO QUEENS are struggling in the NBA and people aren’t making it out to the casinos as much these days, the Maloof Brothers are still willing and capable to help those truly in need. The uninsured skater.
“Skateboarding is progressing quickly right now, and with this progression comes increased risk of injury,” says Ryan Sheckler. “I know quite a few amateur and pro skateboarders that don’t have health insurance or much savings, and those are the guys that really need the Sheckler Foundation and Maloof Skateboarding Assistance Foundation. If a serious injury ended their career these foundations could provide them the assistance they need.”
Thanks Ryan. But as you guessed, Ryan Sheckler does have health insurance. Listen to a guy that doesn’t. Then go over to USA TODAY to read how the MALOOF BROTHERS are helping out their fellow skater.
