Oona and Gage's 2024 Ice Dance Fund

We are a Senior Ice Dance team, born and raised on Long Island. We are the 2022 World Junior Ice Dance Champions. We are proud members of Team USA, and have represented the USA in numerous international competitions over the last six years.

Last year we began part-time training in Canada with the Ice Academy of Montreal (I.AM). Since starting at I.AM, we have grown as athletes and we feel our skating has noticeably improved!

Due to our financial situation as a family, we have been forced to fund skating ourselves for the last 4 years. It has been difficult to cover all expenses needed in order to continue skating. With the help of all of your generous donations and sharing our message, we hope to be able to continue training at I.AM. As well as, covering our general costs of the season (coaching, choreography, travel, stay, gym, costumes, etc).

Some people have asked about our housing situation, so we wanted to give an update to all those concerned. We are losing our family house on Long Island. Due to this, our family will be separating in order to find affordable accommodations. We hope to be able stay on Long Island to continue our training here.

Some interesting facts about us.

We come from a family of seven children, all of us were homeschooled. We began skating when Oona was 4 and Gage was 6. Our first time competing as an ice dance team was in 2016. On the weekends we both work as soccer referees and also enjoy running in 5k and 10k races. We are both musical. Gage plays the electric bass and sings, we both also play in a competitive Irish marching Band (Roisin Dubh Pipe Band), where Oona plays the snare drum and Gage plays the Bagpipes.

We will be competing at two Grand Prix events this season: 2024 Skate Canada (Oct. 25th - Oct. 27th) and 2024 Finlandia Trophy (Nov. 15th - Nov. 17th)! They will both be streamed on Peacock TV. We will announce the rest of our upcoming competitions to all of you soon!

We are super excited for the year ahead!!! Go Team USA!!!

Please consider donating to our campaign and sharing with friends and family. Our ultimate goal is to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team. With your help, our dream can become a reality!

Thank you all so much❤️

We greatly appreciate all of your dedicated love and support.

Oona and Gage❤️
