KidSkate Benefits Youth

Thanks for your participation in KidSkate!
We brought 1,000 kids to Downtown Ice with your help
KidSkate provides children from underserved communities with the opportunity to create a lifetime memory and promotes a healthy, active lifestyle during the holiday season. This 2009-2010 season, please lend a hand in reaching our goal of 2,010 children enjoying KidSkate at Downtown Ice. Every dollar counts, and every donations, whether sponsor level or below, matters.
"There is no way that their families would be able to send them to
Downtown Ice, so for many this is the first and only time on skates. We
use the annual trip to Downtown Ice as a motivational event for our 600
students. This is a very festive event and an all-American activity
that raises the spirit of our community.” - Maria Evans, principal at Washington Elementary School

Read and sign the registration form and your group will be put on the waiting list.
A skate party is equivalent to 200 kids. Your group may share the ice with others.
If you have a sponsor who is willing to host your specific youth group, arrangements can be made accordingly.
Note: The number of skate parties is limited to the number of sponsors.
“The thank-you letters, drawings from the kids, pictures of them skating and their sincere appreciation made it worth every penny.” - Greg Casella, owner of Catered Too!
