SKATE, TAP, GIVE HOPE. ~
Our mission at Saint Taps is to inspire and uplift communities by combining our love for skateboarding with acts of kindness. We aim to tap into the lives of those in need, providing small tokens of hope and creating moments of connection and compassion. By engaging students in colleges and high schools, we are building a movement that transforms lives through creativity, compassion, and action—one tap at a time.
ABOUT SAINT TAPS
Saint Taps was founded by brothers Gabriel Gray and Gannon Blue Dresser, musicians and creators of Saintsandwolves.com, a brand inspired by music, art, and skateboarding culture. Saint Taps brings that same passion for street culture and community into philanthropy. Our mission is simple: we skate through the streets, tapping people in need—a homeless person, an elderly neighbor, or anyone facing tough times—with a message of hope, along with practical items like toiletries or a gift card to brighten their day.
Saint Taps symbolizes the spirit of giving back through movement and action, reminding us that even the smallest gestures can make a huge impact.
Our next step is to expand the Saint Taps movement to college campuses and high schools across the United States. By engaging students in this grassroots effort, we aim to inspire the next generation to actively participate in their communities, using skateboarding and small acts of kindness to bring hope to those in need. Through partnerships with schools and student organizations, we plan to build local chapters of Saint Taps on campuses, encouraging students to take part in regular “Taps” events where they can give back and make a difference.
CORE VALUES
-
Movement & Action.
We believe in the power of movement. Skateboarding is our way to stay active and engaged with our communities, spreading positive change along the way. We want to bring this movement to young people in schools across the country, empowering them to make an impact through action.
-
Compassion in Every Gesture.
Every act of kindness, no matter how small, has the power to uplift someone’s spirit. We believe in the power of giving, whether it’s a warm message or a simple gift, and we want to inspire students to tap into this ethos of compassion.
-
Community First.
We are rooted in our community and passionate about reaching out to those who may feel forgotten or overlooked. Through college and high school chapters, we will help students engage with their local communities, creating opportunities for outreach and connection.
-
Music, Art, Skateboarding, and Street Culture.
These are the foundations of who we are and drive everything we do. From the clothes we wear to the boards we ride, creativity and culture are at the heart of Saint Taps, driving us to make a difference in the communities around us.
SAINT TAPS ON CAMPUSES AND SCHOOLS.
Our goal is to create a network of Saint Taps chapters at universities and high schools across the United States. These chapters will empower students to take initiative in their communities by organizing regular events where they can skateboard through their local areas and distribute notes of hope and essential items to those in need.
Through these chapters, we will offer students leadership opportunities, community service hours, and the chance to make real, positive changes in their neighborhoods. We will provide support, training, and resources to help each chapter grow and thrive, turning the act of giving into a movement that spreads kindness and positivity across campuses and cities nationwide.
