U.S. Figure Skating is pleased to welcome GRAF Figure Skates, a high-quality figure skate manufacturer distributed by Silecky Sports LLC, as an official supplier.
GRAF, a family-owned and operated Swiss company, has been producing figure skates for athletes of all levels – from beginners to World champions – at affordable prices for more than 100 years.
“We are thrilled to welcome GRAF Figure Skates as a sponsor given our shared belief that skating is for everyone,” U.S. Figure Skating Senior Director of Marketing and Sales Annie White said. “We look forward to utilizing this partnership to provide our membership with quality products and to further grow participation in the sport of figure skating.”
As part of the partnership, GRAF will fund a diversity, equity and inclusion grant program aimed at providing financial support to figure skaters among historically underrepresented groups, including BIPOC, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals with disabilities and low-income families.
Additionally, GRAF will provide a 50% discount to U.S. Figure Skating coaches and a 20% discount to Learn to Skate USA® and Aspire coaches and skaters on skates and select accessories purchased from Silecky Sports LLC.
“GRAF Figure & Silecky Sports are excited about our partnership with U.S. Figure Skating, which honors both our shared history in the sport and vision for future growth,” USA Country Manager of GRAF Figure Matej Silecky said. “GRAF Figure and U.S. Figure Skating share a founding date of 1921, and we are proud to support the organization’s growth initiatives as we both move into our second century.”
