LIFTING SKATERS UP,
BREAKING BARRIERS DOWN
Every skater deserves a chance to chase their dreams, but financial obstacles often stand in the way. High costs for training, ice time, and equipment can limit opportunities for skaters and local clubs. With your support, we can break down these barriers. Your donation helps provide grants and create access to resources that allow skaters to grow and thrive. Together, we can make figure skating more accessible for all.
