Our Vision

From the beginning, the mission has been clear. I’ve launched a nonprofit organization with one primary goal: to help figure skating athletes secure the funding they need to chase their dreams. This nonprofit will be built to last, with transparent and inclusive guidelines for athlete eligibility. It will support elite skaters on the path to World and Olympic teams, but it won’t stop there. It will also equip younger athletes with the tools to speak confidently and fundraise with purpose.

As I began creating the educational and promotional materials for clubs and developing skaters, I realized something important. While I’ve done some fundraising and self-promotion in the past, and I’ve read plenty on the topic, I learn best by doing, and by doing, I’ll be better prepared to teach.

That brings me to what Ellie and I are doing now. As we begin our Olympic season, we’ve chosen to turn this journey into our own real-time case study. We’re hosting a fundraising dinner and auction featuring special guests, personal stories, and a deeper look at our long-term vision for the sport. We’d love for you to be part of our Olympic season—and even more, to join us in building something that will last far beyond it.

To show how serious we are about giving back, we’re committing the first $5,000 of profit from this event as a scholarship for another athlete or team chasing their Olympic dream this season.

Thank you for being part of this. We can’t wait to see you there.

Warmly,

Ellie Kam & Danny O’Shea
