In 2015, Hawk’s foundation venture received the Robert Wood Johnson Sports award. In 2002, he founded the Tony Hawk Foundation, now referred to as The Skatepark Project, which helps to build skateparks in underprivileged areas around the country as a response to the lack of safe and legal skateparks in the States. Since his rise in fame, Hawk has gone on to release a video game series with Activision as well as pursue philanthropic work.

This feat led to mass recognition and is credited with bringing skateboarding into the mainstream. At the age of 31, the skateboarder made a name for himself in the industry after completing one of the most technically demanding tricks in skateboarding, the 900, in 1999. Tony Hawk is considered a pioneer of the modern vertical skateboarding sport. The movie will debut on HBO and HBO Max on April 5th.
