Help 24º of Color Skaters Reach or Continue Their Synchronized Skating Dreams!

At 24º of Color, we’re breaking barriers in figure skating by providing access, resources, and a supportive community for young skaters from underserved backgrounds. Recently, a talented group of our figure skaters took a bold step forward—trying out for the LA Synchro synchronized skating team!

Now, they face a new challenge: the rising costs of competitive figure skating. Transitioning from Learn to Skate into synchronized skating or continuing into a new season comes with substantial upfront costs—ranging from $2,500 to $8,000 per skater—covering team dues, registration fees, ice time, and competition expenses. Most of these fees must be paid before the season even begins, making it difficult for many of our skaters to continue their journey.

These athletes have worked tirelessly to reach this milestone, showing unwavering dedication and passion for the sport. Your support can help make their dreams a reality!

Every donation brings us closer to keeping our skaters on the ice, fostering diversity, inclusion, and opportunity in figure skating. Join us in championing the next generation of synchronized skaters—every dollar makes a difference!

Donate today and be part of their journey! 💙⛸️
