Prince Rupert's Skaters fundraising to put coach in the spotlight at March 11th Gala

Closing in on goal 
Number One!!!

The skaters at the Prince Rupert Skating Club have been taking to their fundraising with a zest these last few weeks, that  as they hope to raise enough money to find success with their challenge to coach Tamara Hummel Ward.

You probably have seen them at their table at Canada Safeway in recent weeks, taking donations towards the Clubs plans to purchase new equipment for the CanSkate program, with an Easter Basket the prize up for grabs from those who donate.

Part of their fundraising also has a challenge for the coach that if they raise 3,000 dollars she will perform a solo at the March 11th Ice Gala at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre.

The last update from mid month had them closing in on their goal with over 2,3000 dollars raised as of February 19th.

If you would like to donate to see Ms. Hummel Ward do a solo in this year’s Ice Show, find a skater with a pledge form or e-transfer prsctreasurer@hotmail.com 

 Also follow their Social Media feed for the next location for their fundraising efforts.

Should they shoot past the 3,000 dollar mark, the skaters may double down on their fundraising ... as they get to choose the music for Ms. Wards solo should they reach the 5,000 dollar mark.

Though they may have to skip their parents and go all the way to their grandparents for advice on the Best music of the 60s to skate to for a solo

The Ice Gala takes place March 11th and the theme is Welcome to Sixties. Advance tickets are available at the Civic Centre Rink  on Monday's and Wednesday's from 3:30 PM to 5:15 PM

You can also purchase tickets at the door on the night of the Gala.
