Colonial Relief Fund 2020
COVID-19 has changed our lives. We are all figuring out home-school
and work, closed businesses and missed activities. While we try to
protect our families, we know that people, our friends and neighbors,
are missing paychecks, struggling to get through this challenging
time until we can return to normal, however that will look!
Here in our Colonial family, we want everyone, our coaches, skaters and parents, to be able to come back for the 2020-2021 season! To help make this possible, we are reaching out to build a Colonial Relief Fund, to help defray the cost of membership dues which are due in June.
Generosity has the power to unite, in good times and bad, and this
COVID-19 threat touches everyone. What an opportunity to come together
and support each other!
Please support Colonial Figure Skating today #GivingTuesday, and all
through the month of May.
