PSCHS celebrates over 175 years of skating!
We’re the only member of US Figure Skating still in our original building, and we’re committed to preserving this legacy and the future of our rink and club.
Protect our future. Preserve our heritage.
The Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society is a piece of Philadelphia and figure skating history renowned the world over. For more than 175 years, PSCHS has played a prominent role for skating enthusiasts and competitors both locally and within US Figure Skating. Our rink has been home to Olympic, World, and National champions, as well as the thousands of competitive and recreational skaters who’ve graced our ice surface.
But it’s also more than that: it’s a community of skaters and friends who show up for each other, who build lasting friendships and share a love of figure skating. It’s a gateway to a lifelong love of a sport, and a place to come home to; somewhere for young people to build confidence, strength, and skills; and where old friends remain connected through whatever life brings.
With your support, we will make essential updates to the Ice and Air to meet current regulatory standards and ensure that the Club remains a cherished institution for generations to come.
Without these critical improvements, in a few short years, our Club will no longer have ice.
Thank you to our campaign donors!
