The Skating Club of Boston will celebrate the grand opening of their brand new, best-in-class skating facility in Norwood, MA on Saturday, December 4th at 6:00 pm with a star-studded skating exhibition event, "A Night of Stars," in the Tenley E. Albright Performance Center.

South Grafton native and Team Excel Collegiate Team member Aneeha Dalal will be one of several featured skaters at the event. The two-time U.S. Synchronized Skating Medalists team is composed of full-time students who wish to pursue a competitive skating career at one of the premier figure skating clubs in the country while pursuing their undergraduate or graduate degrees. Over the past five years, team members have hailed from 15 states and attended 40 colleges and universities across New England.

This special event will be the first full-capacity ticketed skating show in Boston since 2019 and will be the largest gathering of figure skating Olympians and U.S. champions outside the Olympics itself. The event will be hosted by Olympian Scott Hamilton, with proceeds benefiting the CARES Foundation, Mass General Brigham, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
