Skate-a-thon
The Skate-A-Thon is a community-powered fundraiser supporting the Winthrop Rink’s On Thin Ice capital campaign. Every lap skated helps secure the future of our ice—ensuring kids have access to affordable skating, hockey, and life-building opportunities for generations to come.
Details
Every lap skated and every pledge made helps protect the future of our outdoor rink — ensuring safe, reliable ice and keeping skating accessible for local kids, families, and visitors for generations to come. This is our chance to rally together and invest in a place that gives so much joy to our valley.
Skaters of all ages are encouraged to participate, cheer each other on, and help build momentum toward this shared goal.
