Wednesday November 11, 2009
Olympic Champions and Cancer Survivors Scott Hamilton and Dorothy Hamill

"Kaleidoscope," a FOX television special that will air on Thanksgiving Day, will be celebrating skating, song and survivorship.

Olympic figure skating champions and cancer survivors Scott Hamilton and Dorothy Hamill will be performing. This will be the first television performance for Hamilton since he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and Hamill will make a return to skating following her battle with breast cancer. Olympic Champion Kristi Yamaguchi, Olympic Medalist Nancy Kerrigan, and Olympic figure skating hopefuls Johnny Weir and Rachael Flatt will also appear.

The show will be taped on Monday, November 16, 2009 in Washington, D.C. at the Verizon Center. Cancer survivors may obtain complimentary tickets. Tickets are available through all Ticketmaster outlets.
