We are two teenage competitive synchronized figure skaters on a mission.

WHAT WE DO

Create opportunities for:

the reuse of skates on the ice
diversion from landfills of used equipment and materials from skate manufacturing
unmet needs for recycling components

EVENTS

We are hard at work in our community to make a difference!

SKATES DISTRIBUTION MAP

Every point on this map marks someone whose skating journey has been supported by our donated skates.

From nonprofit organizations to individual skaters, these locations reflect a growing movement committed to increasing access and empowering skaters everywhere.

Together, these points illustrate the reach of our mission to make skating fun, inclusive, and accessible for all.

“This sounds like an amazing project, and it means a lot that you thought about us. I think this would be really helpful for some of our participants. Many of them rent their skates and would benefit from having something that actually fits them without the expense.”
