Bay Area figure skater and Olympic Gold Medalist, Kristi Yamaguchi will join Olympic gold medalist, Brian Boitano to co-host Golden Moment, a star-studded skating event benefiting her nonprofit, Always Dream Foundation, which supports early childhood literacy. Always Dream Foundation currently supports 15 Bay Area elementary schools, serving 64 classrooms and providing over 1,600 students with digital books, e-tablets and a parent engagement program. Golden Moment will feature Olympic Gold Medalists Yamaguchi (Albertville), Meryl Davis & Charlie White (Sochi), Brian Boitano (Calgary), Dorothy Hamill (Innsbruck), Evan Lysacek (Vancouver), Ekaterina Gordeeva (Calgary and Lillehammer), plus champions Gracie Gold, Nancy Kerrigan, Polina Edmunds, Jeremy Abbott, Tanith Belbin & Ben Agosto, and many special guests.
�I�m humbled that the biggest names in the figure skating world are taking center ice alongside Brian and I, allowing my Always Dream Foundation to expand and serve more low-income students throughout the Bay Area,� said Yamaguchi.
�Headlining a Bay Area figure skating show alongside my good friend Kristi Yamaguchi is a first,� said Brian Boitano �And, being on the ice with skaters of this caliber in a show that helps local kids, is truly inspiring. The Bay Area has a rich figure skating history which is evidenced by the pillars in front of SAP Center that feature Kristi and I, Debbie Thomas, Rudy Galindo and of course, the legendary Peggy Fleming.
More than 15 young skaters from the South Bay will perform a special routine choreographed for them by Rudy Galindo, a San Jose native and the 1996 U.S. men�s national champion, who is a coach at Sharks Ice at San Jose.
�I am thrilled and honored to choreograph a group number with talented up and coming young skaters in the Bay Area and to showcase this number at Kristi�s Golden Moment benefit show� says Rudi Galindo.
