MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — The 2020 virtual Skechers Pier To Pier Friendship Walk has raised $1,825,945 of its $2 million goal as of 8:45 a.m. today [Sunday, Oct. 25]. You can help them reach their goal by donating or participating in this morning's fundraising event.

Due to COVID-19, the 2020 Walk has been transformed from a popular beach event into a celebration of its sponsors and community. It has gone virtual and is being hosted by South Bay students, supported by more than 100 companies, and features a star-studded line-up of performances and appearances with celebrities like America’s Got Talent winner Kodi Lee, Tony Romo, Sugar Ray Leonard, Matt Kuchar, Brooke Henderson, Howie Long, Brooke Burke, Denise Austin and others.

The virtual Skechers Pier To Pier Friendship Walk begins live today at 10 a.m. and there's still time to register, donate, or watch the action.
