We are really excited about partnering with Fight The City for a special event auctioning off limited edition hand painted boxing gloves by world renown artists from Justin Carty to Borbay. Part of the nights proceeds will benefit all of Hoods to Woods Foundation outdoor and new media programs. The Auction will take place at The Time Hotel at 224 W 49th St, New York 7p-10p
Good news! The Hoods to Woods Foundation and Good Wood NYC has come together to produce a limited edition bracelet that will help fund our outdoor programs. We are huge fans of Good Wood NYC and they are fans of what we do as well! We thought it would be cool to make a bracelet to raise money for our outdoor programs. You can purchase the bracelet here at Bird’s Eye Board shop. There are only 100 bracelets available so don’t miss out!
Santigold is not just a musician and board member of Hoods to Woods, but a lover of art!

Check out Santigold’s selection of some of her favorite photos. Also make sure you get a copy of her new album “Master of My Make-Believe”
We started our first Snowboard program four years ago before we became an official non profit at Mt. Creek, NJ. See what a day on the mountain is like with our teens. Learning to overcome challenges & fears.
Part of our media and design programs are to encourage our youth to create product with outdoor and apparel companies. We partnered with Flat Fitty to create a limited edition cap.
Last year we partnered with Open Road to build a mini ramp in the lower
east side at the 12th and Ave. A skatepark. It was a two day project where
our teens were instructed on how to build a mini ramp. We would like to
thank Lifeandtimes.com and everyone who participated in helping construct
the ramp. The result was a success and brought many smiles to the kids in
the neighborhood.
The Hoods to Woods Foundation is a organization that promotes awareness of the outdoors to inner city children ages 11 –17 through year-round activities such as snowboarding, indoor rock climbing, camping, hiking and more! Using environmental awareness, writing and the use of new media tools that allow youth to document their outdoor experience, the program is designed to build confidence
and facilitate individual discovery.
