Skating for Scholarships

Skating for Scholarships is more than just an annual roller-skating fundraiser—it’s a powerful movement dedicated to empowering the next generation of scholars and leaders. Founded by Charles Burch through The Chuck Burch Scholarship Fund and supported by a network of passionate sponsors, this event unites the skating community for a cause that transforms lives beyond the rink.

What started in 2013 as a small, single-night gathering has evolved into a thrilling five-night, four-rink experience, drawing skaters from across the country. Over the years, Skating for Scholarships has proudly awarded over $60,000 in scholarships, helping ambitious students overcome financial barriers and pursue their educational dreams.

With the rising cost of education, too many talented students find themselves struggling to afford the opportunities they deserve. Skating for Scholarships exists to bridge that gap, offering not just financial assistance, but also mentorship, community, and inspiration.
