Fundraising Initiatives-Competitor Support
Nicholas Brooks, a 16-year-old figure skater from Glendale, Arizona, currently training in Colorado Springs, has demonstrated remarkable talent and dedication to his sport. In early 2024, he represented Team USA in the junior men’s category at the Trophy Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur in Nice, France, where he secured a bronze medal. To support his participation in this international event, Nicholas and his family launched a fundraising campaign to cover expenses such as travel, accommodation, and coaching fees. The campaign highlighted the financial challenges faced by athletes pursuing their dreams on the global stage.
Fundraising efforts like these are crucial in assisting talented skaters like Nicholas, ensuring they have the necessary resources to compete internationally and continue their athletic development.
Events at local rink
During each school holiday, Bladebond Foundation members host various events at their local rink to promote our mission, attract new members, and expand our service to more communities.
Mentor Programs
We provide ongoing mentoring programs for skaters who need mental support or training experiences. We help skaters at different levels have the resources needed to succeed.
