The figure skating benefit exhibition raised money for the Aids Resource Foundation for Children. Their mission is to meet the needs of children and families living with HIV/AIDS.

Olympic figure skating champion, Oksana Baiul, stars in the ice show. Some of the other famous people in figure skating who participate in the project include:

• Tai Babilonia, world pair skating champion and ice skating legend
• Rory Flack-Burghart, US Open and American Open Professional Figure Skating Champion
• Ann Patrice McDonough, World Junior Figure Skating Champion
• Lucinda Ruh - 2-time Swiss national figure skating champion
• Scott Smith - 12-time US National Senior Men's and International figure skating competitor

One Step Closer's founder and director is Tim David, a US Adult Figure Skating Champion and the Figure Skating Director of Central Park’s Lasker Skating Rink.

The show took place at Central Park’s Lasker Skating Rink, a two rink outdoor facility, on March 27, 2010.

The idea for One Step Closer came because Tim David wanted to make a difference. He knew about other figure skating benefit shows, and wanted to do an AIDS benefit. David's partner, Brian Mancuso, came up with the name "One Step Closer." Mancuso believes that every benefit that generates funds for the research for the cure for AIDS means that we are "one step closer."
