U of M + Figure Skaters + Camp for Kids = Giving

The Detroit Skating Club Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

The Gadfly Investigations Newspaper got their tickets for Frenchie Skate 2014, did you?  Saturday we were #Gadflyin at The Detroit Skating Club, and bought our tickets to the  benefit for North Star Reach a camp for children with serious health challenges.  FYI - 100% of the proceeds will go to the camp and that is wonderful to hear.

North Star Reach is located in Pinckney, Michigan and is a provisional member of The SeriousFun Children's Network founded by Paul Newman. You can learn more about the camp here:  https://northstarreach.org/  The Gadfly Investigations Newspaper hopes to do a future blog about the camp.

I am hopeful that either The Shibutanis or Meryl Davis and Charlie White will be there; as  they are all University of Michigan students - stay tuned.  For more information about the event, including other performers and to purchase tickets online, follow this link:  http://frenchieskate.com/
