Figure Skating in Harlem's "Skating with the Stars"

[Sylvia]

This fundraising event is taking place at Wollman Rink in NYC's Central Park today (April 5, 2010). Johnny, Tanith, and Jeremy have tweeted that they will be attending. I was really impressed with the Olympic-themed synchro number performed by the FSiH skaters at a recent benefit show and hope a lot of $$$ will be raised to continue supporting this very worthy program! :)

From the captions, it appears that Ben's injury is to his groin, not back. He says it's getting better - good to hear.

Now, now boys. I'm sure a strong hunk of man like Chris Meloni could take you both on. Threesome!;)

In their Today Show interview this morning Meryl & Charlie put in a nice plug for this education/skating program and mentioned that Tanith is on the board.

Can anyone explain to me what this event actually was?

[skatingfan5]

Can anyone explain to me what this event actually was?It was a fund-raising event (http://www.figureskatinginharlem.org/events/skating-with-the-stars.php) where those attending could skate on the same ice with the competitive skaters and also bid for auction items. I'm assuming that there was an admission fee/ticket -- Monday's event raised over $300,000 for Figure Skating in Harlem, whose students also performed (http://figureskating.teamusa.org/news/2010/04/06/figure-skating-in-harlem/35119) at the event.
