About #WeGetUp
The Get Up® campaign was launched by U.S. Figure Skating in 2017 to help skaters and non-skaters alike to recognize the grit, passion and perseverance needed to Get Up in the rink and in life.
This campaign is a celebration of the strength, resilience and determination it takes not only to be a figure skater, but to be human. Our goal is to attract new skaters to the sport, grow our fan base and empower our members to take pride in who they are as figure skaters while making a positive difference in their communities.
National Get Up Day
Celebrated since 2017, National Get Up Day is Wednesday, February 1, 2023. U.S. Figure Skating invites people around the nation to participate in a celebration of those who embody the Get Up spirit. Officially declared by The Registrar at National Day Calendar, National Get Up Day is celebrated annually on February 1.
We’ll be celebrating Get Up Day in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the Sertich Ice Center this year! Please refer to this page for details in the coming months. If you aren’t in the Colorado Springs area, we invite you to join the celebration by sharing your stories of strength, determination and resilience on social media using #WeGetUp.
