Media note: Media is invited for 12:30pm and to refrain from featuring kids with red wristbands on camera. This event is sanctioned by Skate Canada. About Skate To Great Skate To Great is a not-for-profit organization that pairs new and used donated skates and equipment with deserving children and at-risk youth. The charity began last March when two friends, both passionate about skating while attending University, saw the need for every child in Canada to be able to enjoy ice skating. Support quickly came from FedEx Express Canada, StorageMart, Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse and Ryerson University's Digital Media Zone to help collect and distribute new and gently used skates and helmets for the kids. December 8th marks the launch of national donation sites across Canada including cities such as: Vancouver, Montreal, Quebec City, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Lethbridge, Hamilton, Barrie, London, Windsor plus many more. Skate To Great is also creating funding to the organizations they work with to support the cost of new helmets and volunteer background checks for volunteers working with kids. Skate To Great will become a household name throughout North America by 2014. The organization is continuously seeking additional assistance, volunteers and resources. For more information on volunteering, please email volunteer@skatetogreat.org. Special thanks goes out to FedEx Express Canada who has kindly donated $5000 for helmets and select skates for the children.
