Standing Together
The first black skater was not admitted to a figure skating club until 1965 when Richard Ewell joined a local Los Angeles based club. The figure skating community is not immune to society’s systemic racism.
Along with United States Figure Skating, our national governing body, the Pasadena Figure Skating Club stands united in support of anti-racism. We are horrified and outraged at the recent displays of police brutality to black men, in particular, and what has been happening continuously to people of color since our country’s founding. The PFSC Board of Directors is looking into what steps it can take to promote changes that are, finally, not empty or temporary but are systematically sustained through thoughtful determined strategies.
We see you and we stand with you. Black Lives Matter.

The PFSC board of Directors has setup a GoFundMe page to show our support for our PFSC First Club Member coaches during this national emergency related to COVID-19. They are potentially the most impacted by the current rink closure and the uncertainty of these circumstances. Please chip in what you can! See the page for more details!
