Event Date: 
April 15, 2016 - 6:00pm

The Heavenly Mountain Resort ski patrol crew will be hosting a free skate night for children with special needs on Friday, April 15 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena on Rufus Allen Blvd.

They will be offering the positive experience in a social environment they may not have had before by getting the kids on the ice by pushing them in adaptive hockey sleds. After "skating" they will be treated to a pizza party at the rink.

Contributing sponsors for the event include Tahoe Sports Entertainment, the

Ice Rink Management Company and Base Camp Pizza of South Lake Tahoe.
