Great Fish Community Challenge: Thank you for making the 2023 Great Fish Community Challenge another record-setting campaign!
We are so grateful to our families and friends for keeping our skaters' dreams alive! With your help, we reached $22,625, and over 50 community members around the states donated to GSA!! Huge thank you to our most significant donors: Don K Chevrolet, Glacier Payments, AGL Foundation, Hot Line Construction, Inc. James Bochnowski, The Marlowes, Mike Gatewood, William De Roode, and all the families of Glacier Skate Academy.
We are very grateful to all those behind-the-scenes volunteers and staff of the Whitefish Community Foundation for building this campaign from the ground up to what it is today, helping 78 giving nonprofits in the Valley!
The Whitefish Community Foundation will announce the Great Fish Match amount, special awards, and the grand tally at the Great Fish Awards Ceremony on October 24 at the Wachholz College Center. All are invited to join us for this festive evening with the 70+ nonprofits participating in this year’s Challenge.
Your donations will go a long way to continue offering cost-effective programs for our community and up-level our GSA skaters' training with new equipment and bringing in qualified coaches. We can’t thank you enough for your continued support!
​
Located in beautiful Whitefish, we are a Montana figure skating club.
We host year-round ice skating instruction and training programs for competitive and recreational figure skaters and power skating for hockey players. We offer weekly Learn-to-Skate USA classes throughout the school year, as well as summer camps. Glacier Skate Academy also provides year-round group instruction for Star Skaters, our bridge program for skaters who have advanced beyond Learn-to-Skate and want to continue growing their skating skills. Skaters of all ages, from pre-schooler to adults, can find a program to help them meet their goals.
​
Glacier Skate Academy is a member of the US Figure Skating Association.
