Jack Bear Winter Skate Fundraiser!⛸️❄️

Join us for one of our favorite community traditions at the Jack Bear Winter Skate! This family-friendly fundraiser brings our community together for an afternoon of skating, laughter, and purpose, all in support of advancing research for SCAR-15.

Every skater will receive a custom Jack Bear winter hat as part of their entry, so no need to bundle up. We’ve got you covered!

In addition to open skate time, guests can enjoy:

  • 🎈 Balloon artistry

  • 🎨 Face painting

  • 📸 Photos with the Jack Bear mascot under our festive balloon arch

  • 🧸 Exclusive Jack Bear merchandise available for purchase

  • 🍪 Snacks and refreshments available onsite

The Winter Skate is more than a fun afternoon on the ice. It’s a celebration of community, resilience, and the shared commitment to finding answers for families impacted by rare disease.

Whether you’re lacing up your skates or cheering from the sidelines, your participation helps move research forward and brings hope closer to reality.

We can’t wait to see you on the ice. ❄️⛸️💙
