I recently heard about this show, which is scheduled for April 12th at the Sertich Ice Center in Colorado Springs. Funds go to a family affected by multiple myeloma and the American Cancer Society.
The show will be hosted/emceed by Peggy Fleming, and Jenni Meno & Todd Sand will be there, along with many local elite skaters (Jeremy Abbott, and I would imagine Rachael Flatt and Ryan Bradley 'cause they're in the area as well, although the cast list currently shows only Meno & Sand).

The wonderful people in Colorado Springs have put together a benefit show for the family of junior men's competitor Austin Kanallakan on April 12 in Colorado Springs, Colo. His family has fallen on hard financial times because his father was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a type of cancer formed by cancerous plasma cells in the blood.
Two-time U.S. pewter medalist Jeremy Abbott, U.S. silver medalist Rachael Flatt, U.S. Junior Ladies Champion Alexe Gilles and U.S. junior ice dancing silver medalists Piper Gilles & Tim McKernan are all performing. (Pairs should be added once the schedule of the annual pairs camp is figured out.)
