Our annual gala “Skating With the Stars, Under the Stars” is our signature fundraising event that brings Olympic skaters and celebrities together with more than 650 guests to enjoy an evening a skating and fun under the stars.

Our seasonal community events include our end of year Ice Show where students perform in a themed, costumed recital and our mid-winter Soul on Ice Skating Party where guests join students and their families for a festive afternoon skate.
