Christmas skating special includes message about Easter Seals
by Beth
On Christmas Day this year, Amway Global and Disson Skating will present a special competition on NBC that adds a twist to standard figure skating. Amway Global Improv-Ice challenges figure skating superstars by having them skate on the fly to music they have not yet heard. The Amway Global Improv-Ice nationally televised special will air on Christmas Day from 3 to 5 p.m. ET on NBC and will be hosted by figure skating greats Kristi Yamaguchi and Brian Boitano. Olympic and World Champion figure skaters Nancy Kerrigan, Kurt Browning and Sasha Cohen will be among the stars doing the improvisational skating.
As a national partner of Easter Seals, and through their One by One campaign, Amway Global has included Easter Seals in television spots that will air during the Improv-Ice show on Friday. Since 1983, Amway Global and Amway Global Independent Business Owners have partnered with Easter Seals to support services to children and adults with autism and other disabilities. During this time, nearly $30 million has been contributed by Amway Global and Amway Global Independent Business Owners.
To help promote Friday’s show, figure skater Michael Weiss will appear on NBC’s Today Show and Kurt Browning will participate in a satellite radio tour, both on Christmas morning. The holiday show is all about the improvisation, and we at Easter Seals hope you’ll sit back and relax for a couple hours this Friday to enjoy this great entertainment. Merry Christmas!
