The Highland Park Figure Skating Club (HPFSC) is holding its first annual Skate-a-thon fundraising event to raise money for lighting and other rink enhancements at Centennial Ice Arena.

The 2-hour event takes place at Centennial Ice Arena on Sunday, May 1 from 3-5pm and will be a night full of fun, friendship, and fundraising.  Skaters are raising funds by requesting pledges prior to the evening for each lap they skate (maximum 50 laps).

Donors may give a pre-determined amount for each lap skated or a flat donation. If your skater can not attend the event, they can still participate by getting flat donations or they may skate the laps on their own time. The goal is to raise $5,000 and a prize will be awarded to the skater who raises the largest amount.

Fundraising Sample Goal (per person):

• 20 Laps
• 10 donors to give $1.00 for each lap (20.00 per donor)
• 10 donors x $1 x 20 laps = $200.00
