Crowdfunding has become a popular method for skating fans to support their favorite skaters. Figure skating is an expensive sport, and even though skating federations and competition prize money provide financial support, the bulk of expenses often falling on the skaters themselves and their families. While you're looking at your charitable giving this year, consider joining in to #SupportSkaters.
