FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Bill Gray’s Regional Iceplex and Doodle Bugs! Children’s Centers announced today an integrated partnership on a variety of programs and events at the Bill Gray’s Regional Iceplex.
As part of this newly formed partnership, the Iceplex Learn to Skate programs will now be known as Doodle Bugs! Children’s Centers Learn to Skate Program. The all ages program, which takes place at the Iceplex year round, is one of the largest learn to skate programs in the United States, teaching hundreds of local residents the fundamental skills of ice skating.
In addition, Doodle Bugs! Children’s Centers will officially sponsor multiple special events that take place at the Iceplex throughout the year. The first one being the annual Skate with Santa event, which takes place Saturday December 19th from 2:00pm to 5:00pm.
This ice skating event features holiday music, decorations, free photographs and an opportunity to give Santa a holiday wish list. The Doodle Bugs! Children’s Center team will be on site throughout the event, offering children free face painting and a holiday craft zone.
“An active lifestyle is a major part of our program’s foundation, so we are thrilled about this partnership with the Iceplex!” said Kate Bogdan, Marketing Manager for Doodle Bugs. “When kids are active, they develop positive feelings about physical activity and cultivate lifelong healthy habits. Ice skating is a wonderful way to keep young kids active all year round!”
