Event Details

We are happy to announce our first annual Christmas ugly sweater skating party to benefit the homeless in our community.

Many of you know that we started fundraising last winter for our homeless neighbors. We had a successful fundraiser and were able to deliver many items such as socks, blankets, and clothing.

This year we want to expand our giving and you can help!

This year we will be raising money to not only purchase new socks, warm blankets, and winter coats but also to help out with our friends at new journey church who provide meals on a daily basis through volunteer hours and volunteer meals.

If you Don’t know our story check out our page at Gigi and Emi’s Warm Winter Project.

Skateaway skate center in Shillington is a large skating rink where we will skate, dance, eat, play games, and of course give away lots of prizes.

We have a grand prize including a 55 inch flatscreen smart LED 4K TV and multiple giveaways, gift baskets, and gift cards. We will also be selling event T-shirts. There will be music, a bake sale, and the snack bar will be open for all.

Children and adults of all ages are welcome and this event is open to the public. May bring your own skates/rollerblades or we will provide a rental for you at a small fee.

There are trainers available for the small children who are unable to skate on their own. We do ask that children under the age of 13 be accompanied by an adult.

Most importantly bring your ugliest, most outrageous, brightly colored, crazy ugly Christmas sweater.

There will be winners chosen for first, second, and third place in three different age divisions.

Prizes will be awarded. And there will also be a prize for most creative family sweaters for families of more than two people.
