Skechers Walk

Skechers Walk

Join us on Sunday, October 29, 2023 for the Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk! Bring your friends, family and neighbors with you as we walk the pier to pier loop between Manhattan Beach Pier and Hermosa Beach Pier (just over 3.5 miles) and help us raise funds for all of our PVPUSD students, schools and children with special needs.

If you are not able to make it on the 29th, you can register as a “virtual walker” and we will get credit for your participation. Last year, PEF had close to 3,000 registered walkers which resulted in a check from Skechers for $260,000.

Lace up your sneakers and have fun at this great community tradition! Go to www.skechersfriendshipwalk.com and sign up on your child’s school team. And remember to select Peninsula Education Foundation as the charity you support.

The Estate Wine Dinner has been added this year by popular demand and is not to be missed. Immediately following the daytime wine and food festival, we are excited to host a sit-down dinner adjacent to the festival with wine pairings, live music, live auction and paddle raise.

The reimagined wine dinner, in lieu of the Main Event, will be gorgeously set under twinkle lights on the exact location Palos Verdes was founded 100 years ago. This is a separately ticketed event from the Toast on the Coast daytime wine and food festival. A standalone dinner ticket is $350/person. A combination ticket for festival and dinner is $500/person.
