For those who helped out in St. Louis for the American Cup 1, you know how much work goes in to preparing for such an event!

Please consider supporting the event by purchasing a partially tax-free “message of encouragement” ad in the meet program. Even if you don’t personally know any of the Junior skaters, they will appreciate your words of kindness and financial support of the meet.

Ad sizes, prices and other information can be found here.

The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, Jan 17.

Thank you for your support!
