The one-hour stream is April 17 at 8 p.m. ET, hosted by U.S. Olympic medalists Jason Brown and Gracie Gold and organized by Americares and Fireworks Sports Marketing. The stream will feature skaters’ submitted videos from on and off the ice, detailing how they’re handling life during the pandemic.

The videos will be a “creative variety,” an organizer said, including skating programs.

What a great cast.:hap57:

And so adorable that it is co-hosted by BFFs Jason and Gracie.

I hope Jason doesn't demonstrate the jumping rope in his skates which he recently posted, and give me heart failure:laugh:

Kudos to all:clap:

Jason honestly looks like he's going to explode with excitement. It's absolutely making my day!

This is a bit rich of Yagudin considering the comments he made about Jason earlier in the year.
