Not sure where to post this, but thought it might be of interest to many.
I flipped out when I saw this on Sasha's website. There's a fundraising event, an annual gala to raise funds for underprivileged skating students in Harlem, called Skating With the Stars, Under the Stars...and they're NOT kidding! For the hefty price tag of $250 (which includes dinner and an auction), you get to skate in a session with Oksana Baiul , Viktor Petrenko, Evgeni Plushenko, Sasha Cohen, Paul Wylie, Surya Bonaly, and many more. Michelle did this benefit last year. I sure wish I had those $250. Thought I'd post this heads-up for anyone in the NY area who may want to do this or at least go stargazing in the park for free, as a friend of mine did last April. If Lu Chen or Matt Savoie were there, I'd do it; even without those two there, I'm very, very tempted. The skaters won't be performing, probably just fielding questions and autograph requests-on-ice from starstruck fans
Cheers,
Sarah m.
