Skechers created the COVID-19 relief fund as a matching grant program to support Manhattan Beach restaurants struggling during California’s newest stay-at-home order. 

Skechers pledged to contribute up to $500,000 to the fund and over delivered on their promise by $100,000, gifting over $600,000 in grants to 28 different restaurants in Downtown and North Manhattan Beach. 

“The endless support and well-wishes pouring in since we announced the Skechers Restaurant COVID Relief Fund has been astounding,” Skechers President Michael Greenberg said.
