Although entrance to Skate for a Cause is free, skateboard fans can get closer to their favorite pro skaters by purchasing an in-the-park Friends and Family pass for $200 per person, which places pass holders alongside the action during the skate demos and contests. VIP tickets to special, guaranteed seating right outside the skating area may also be purchased for $50 per person. The in-the-park Friends and Family passes and VIP tickets are available for sale at the event, and all money raised through their sales will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

In addition to watching the best skate pros compete, Skate for a Cause attendees are invited to donate to the cause by participating at the skateboard carnival village where, for a small fee, they can play custom-designed games and win prizes. All money raised in the skateboard carnival village will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Below are the brands and foundations sponsoring Skate for a Cause and the games they are offering:
