Our 14th event featured a collaboration between The Patriot Ice Center in Newark, DE and the Ticked Off Foundation on two dates: May 1 & May 2, 2026 for the “Diamond Ice Gala” Ice Show. The Patriot Center presented their fifth annual ice show that included featured skaters Starr Andrews, U.S. National and I.S.U. Grand Prix Medalist plus more national competitors and future stars of figure skating.

The show’s announcer and featured musical performer was Gregg Kirk from the Ticked Off Foundation. Kirk sang the national anthem, was the special guest show announcer, and he performed several of his original songs during the intermissions of both shows. Kirk also spoke to the audience about Lyme disease awareness, and he raised funds for patients in physical and financial crisis for the Ticked Off Foundation, a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization, EIN: 47-4783824.
