The Never Leave One Behind (N.L.O.B.) non-profit organization in collaboration with Rady Children’s Hospital, allowed kids and some brave adults to ice skate free of charge.
N.L.O.B started their holiday season of giving and celebrating on the first Saturday of December at Liberty Station’s popular ice skating rink.
“My wish is for all kids to attend this event because it brings out the Holiday spirit and I’m already looking forward to next year’s event,” Josiah Reynolds,14, of Keller Leadership Academy shared.
N.L.O.B and their faithful staff teamed up for the 26th time to help bring some holiday joy and good will to some deserving fun seekers.
“I can’t thank my good friends Michael Peckam and Jodi Haight enough for their unwavering support and allowing us to have fun, falls, and all, on and off the ice rink,” Larry Price shared.
Men, women, boys, and girls were able to experience the most wonderful time of the year on ice.
“This was my first time going to this event and I was blown away by the nice environment, friendly people, and festive decorations,” 13 year old, Raul Morals of Keller Leadership Academy shared.
“I had a wonderful time attending the annual Fantasy on Ice Skate Party with the St. Stephen’s Young Adult group! It was a blast to lace up and hit the ice again this year with my friends. Thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Price and the Never Leave One Behind Organization for making this event possible for us. I can’t wait to return next year!” shared Corina Lard.
