Thiebaud’s company, Real Skateboards, is selling custom skateboards styled after Green Day’s album art. Proceeds will benefit the hospital.
BERKELEY, CALIF.—Local skateboard legend Jim Thiebaud has definitely made goodThe co-founder of Real Skateboards, one of the biggest and most respected board companies in the U.S., Thiebaud announced a new fundraising partnership on Monday with East Bay rockers Green Day that will benefit Children’s Hospital & Research Center in Oakland.
“It’s a true collaboration with Green Day,” Thiebaud told the Daily News. “I’ve been friends with Billie Joe for more than 15 years. I grew up in Berkeley and Oakland. When you were a punk rocker or a skateboarder, you stuck out, so you got to know everyone in the scene.”
Mimicking the graphics for Green Day’s latest, multi-album release, “Uno!,” “Dos!,” and “Tré!,” Real is issuing custom skateboards that the company will sell in skate shops and online. Proceeds will go to Children’s Hospital.

This contest is open worldwide!
In 2012, Green Day had enough creative inspiration to record three albums of new material. As they deliver that inspiration directly to their supporters on their current world tour, Green Day wants to see how their music can inspire the filmmaker in YOU, with the launch of the official 'Green Day Short Film Challenge'.
Whether you have a flip cam or cellphone video app, or are an aspiring auteur with hotshot shooting and editing skills, or perhaps the creative type with something to say, Green Day wants to see your work and what you’re capable of.
Here's the deal:1. Choose one of the 37 songs across Green Day’s newest records ¡UNO!, ¡DOS!, and¡TRE! that gets your creative juices flowing. You can review the tracks on Spotify or download the track from iTunes.
2. Create an awesome film to accompany the song you choose. It’s not the tools you use that are important, it is how you get what’s in your head and heart onto the screen. Do you have access to multiple cameras, cranes and a special effects house? Cool, but don’t be discouraged if it’s just you, a camera phone and some video apps. Sometimes limitations aren’t limitations at all.
Green Day's ChoiceOne winner will have their short film featured and promoted for millions around the world via Green Day’s official website and social media channels. Additionally the winner will:
- Receive a Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital Camera with lens and accessories
- Be featured in an exclusive interview and profile on GreenDay.com
A further four finalists will each receive an ¡UNO!, ¡DOS!, and¡TRE! box signed by Green Day and will have their submissions featured on GreenDay.com.Filed under:
