Figure Skating on Your Block is transforming skaters from shy to confident! 🦋
Since 2021, more than 5,000 children have participated in their programming. Now, thanks to the Community Development Grant, the program has engaged over 500 additional underserved youth in Chicago.

Overwhelmed by the love shown by clubs across the country as they came together yesterday to observe a moment of silence in honor of the 28 lives we lost far too soon. ❤️⛸️
Thank you to @LiveBarn for giving our clubs a platform to come together and grieve.
