... As promised, here is a brief report about One Skate at a Time Last, which took place last night at Southwest Ice Arena!
The most fabulous thing: they raised > $10,000 for Children's Oncology Services, which allows kids with cancer to have a traditional summer camp experience while providing the medical care they need!
A total of 24 skaters participated, including 2 pair teams (no ice dancers, sadly), as well as the Southwest Ice Arena's synchro team and Northern Ice FSC's creative ice theater team. There were 10 past or present members of Team USA, as well as several local skaters and a few new up and coming Kori students. Highest profile performers were Jordan, Jason, Mariah Bell, Ashley Cain, Tyler Pierce, Jimmy Ma, and Alex (according to his profile, he prefers Alex to Alexey) Krasnozhon. There were a few cases of nerves resulting in falls and popped jumps, but across the board, all the skaters really put their hearts into the performances!
... I think the biggest compliment I can pay Jordan is that he skated last, right after Jason, and he really held his own - there was no drop in energy. He wore a Blackhawks jersey and black pants. Don't ask me what his music was. He skated well , good flow and his personality really came out - he reminds me a bit of Jeremy and Josh so I guess I expected him to be shy or introverted but he was not. ...
It was a lovely evening for a great cause!
Many thanks for the detailed report, papagena .
I'm so happy for Jordan. He seems like a great young man. (From my distant vantage point, he has never seemed shy or introverted to me -- although maybe he does not bounce off the walls to the extreme that Jason does. Jordan obviously thinks big -- to launch this show, and to keep growing it, even after moving to Colorado.)
And very nice that Jason and so many other friends of Jordan are happy to support his show and cause.
(Some of the early publicity had said that ice dancer Daniel Klaber would perform solo -- and I did see via social media the last couple of days that he was in some of the informal off-ice photos of the skaters. Hope that he will find a new partner and perform in Jordan's show next year.)

Thanks to Doris for adding so much Jordan material to the OP .
