The goal of Blades For The Cure is to use the talents of national and international figure skaters to raise funds to help figure skating families in need due to cancer. The first show took place on April 12, 2008. These are photos from that inaugural show. Olympic Champion and cancer survivor Peggy Fleming devoted her time to the cause. The show was directed by Eddie Shipstad of Shipstad Entertainment and Damon Allen. World figure skating competitors Ryan Bradley and Jeremy Abbott performed.
