April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and we’re happy to share stories and insights from some of our volunteers across the country. Kim Navarro is a former Elite Ice Dancer. Representing the US, she and her partner Brent Bommentre are two-time US Bronze Medalists, World Team Members, and Olympic Alternates who made many appearances in Scott Hamilton & Friends. Kim is the Skating Director at Snoopy’s Home Ice in Santa Rosa, California, where she volunteers her time to organize Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer at Snoopy’s Home Ice, and shares her talents as a choreographer and performer in our Celebration Ice Show.

“Cancer. The dreaded C-word! A word we all know too well. One that has touched every one of us so deeply and personally. A word that creates fear the same way it creates itself, one cell at a time until one is completely consumed by it.”
