What is a Skate Gala?

A Gala is a formal event that includes entertainment, dinner, and Dancing. Sometimes auctions & raffles also. Dress to impress in your favorite Gown or suit for a great cause. Network & socialize with others in your community over a good dinner.

Roller Skating is our Jam! We love it. So we're combining the two.

The Skate Gala will combine all the fun of a regular gala PLUS roller skating. You can choose to dance in your shoes but when the music comes on most will change into roller skates and roll. YES we will roller skate in our gowns! So fun So different/new for WNY. They have had formal skates in other parts of the country now its our turn to do our way
