"SKATE INTO SPRING" - YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP BENEFIT
AT SKY RINK AT CHELSEA PIERS

EVENT FEATURES NY RANGERS AND NY ISLANDERS ALUMNI
PLUS TOP FIGURE SKATERS

The Sky Rink Youth Scholarship Fund is proud to be hosting its annual spring benefit, Skate Into Spring, on Friday, May 5, 2000 beginning at 5:30 PM at Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers. The Sky Rink Youth Scholarship Fund raises much-needed funds for New York City children who have the desire, but not the financial resources, to participate in organized youth hockey and figure skating programs. This year over 150 children will receive scholarships.

The evening features open skating for all, a cocktail supper, dancing to the music of Total Remix, an exhibition hockey game (NY Rangers/NY Islanders alumni vs. Chelsea Piers All-Stars) and a figure skating exhibition starring Swiss National Champion, Lucinda Ruh, European Champion and World Bronze medalist, Slava Zagorodnyk and four-time Israeli Ice Dance Champions, Galit Chait & Sergei Sakhnovskiy.

The event includes exhibition youth hockey games, and the presentation of the annual "Good Skate" Award, going this year to hockey coach and humanitarian, Pat Murphy. It will conclude with a silent auction featuring sports memorabilia, NYC entertainment packages and other great items.

Tickets are available at three levels: Benefit tickets at $300, and General Admission tickets at $60 for a Family of Four or $30 for Individuals. For more information, please call 212.336.6858.
