Dear Parents, Skaters and Friends or Family Members of Skaters,
Kids raising money for kids – it doesn’t get any purer than that! The skaters of the Northern Kentucky Skating Club have set a goal to raise $10,000 to benefit the kids at Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Cincinnati.
Shriner’s provides the highest quality care to children with neuromusculoskeletal conditions, burn injuries and other special healthcare needs within a compassionate, family-oriented and collaborative care environment. It is an amazing place!
To watch a few short videos to understand better what they do, see the links below. Once you get to the pages, just click play. Warning, though - be prepared to have your heart moved!

They literally are saving and changing the course of kid’s lives. As a Skating Club, we couldn’t be prouder to support this amazing organization!
Our skaters are doing this by putting on a Holiday Show on Saturday, December 10, 9:00 – 10:00 am. The show will be held at Fountain Square and will be a fun family activity for all ages. We will be accepting donations that day.
In order to meet our goal, though, we will need to take this giving opportunity viral! Shriner’s has made it very easy for us to do this. They have set up an online fundraising page to make giving to this project quick and easy. If you are interested in being part of the Skaters for Kids Fundraising Team or have any questions, feel free to contact Charlotte Markovich at cjmark@fuse.net or 513-886-2641.
Thank you in advance for supporting our skaters in their efforts to raise money for some precious kids, who truly need our help! Please pass this information on to everyone in your social network!
