Fall Fundraiser: November 27 – December 31, 2025
Goal: $30,000 | Donations Matched up to $8,000
This holiday season, let your generosity roll forward. Our Fall Fundraiser fuels the heart of our mission: making skating accessible, inclusive, and empowering for every child who wants to learn.
From November 27 to December 31, we’re rallying our community to help us reach our $30,000 fundraising goal. Every dollar you give will be matched up to $8000 —doubling your impact and pushing our mission further, faster. The sooner you donate the more likely it will be matched.
Why give now?
• Because every $60 funds a full weekend of skate lessons for a child.
• Because every $500 helps us bring skating to an entire school PE class for a full day.
• Because your donation not only gives kids a place to belong, it helps build our future team of trained, professional instructors.
Your support today powers:
• Free skate access for low-income families
• Program growth in underserved schools
• Wages for the instructors and staff who make magic happen on wheels
Your company may match your gift—and we’ll match that too! Imagine the ripple effect your generosity could have.
Let’s show our current and future students that their community believes in them.
