2023 – 2024 Fundraising Opportunities

Why Support? 

Without community support our club couldn’t be as successful as it is. As a 501(c)3, the Bismarck Figure Skating Club/Capital Ice Synchro relies on sponsorships and fundraising to make our program affordable and open to all skaters. The funds offset the costs for dresses, competitions, coaching, and travel. Teams will travel to competitions in Ann Arbor, MI; Chicago, IL; Wichita, KS; and Las Vegas, NV, if the teams qualify.


As a sponsor you do more than support 135 local skaters and their families. Our sponsors also benefit from reaching thousands in the Bismarck-Mandan area and beyond through our social posts, media, events, and many other opportunities that can be customized to fit your goals and budget.
