The Emerica team got things started Sunday when over 600 skateboarders joined the Emerica team for Wild In The Streets in Montreal to benefit the Quebec Foundation Skate Plaza.

The event raised money and awareness for the foundation, which is trying to get a downtown skate plaza built.

Meanwhile in Tampa, Emerica team riders, including Andrew Reynolds, Ed Templeton and Marquis Preston, skated at Skatepark of Tampa for a 'Mild in the Park" event Sunday.

Today, they hit the pavement for Wild in the Streets to benefit Boards for Bros, which refurbishes old skateboards and gives them to those in need.
