Nana's Scholarship
The Jan Fenton Memorial Skating Fund
On January 22, 2015, Jan Fenton passed away from an unexpected illness she could not beat. Many people knew her from her unending chatter, the British accent and her absolute love for figure skating. She knew no strangers and lived life to the fullest. People often saw her skating at the area ice rinks with her granddaughter, Alexis and were charmed by her enthusiasm and joy while on the ice.
To honor Jan’s life and her passion for skating, her family has created a memorial skating fund. Funds collected for The Jan Fenton Memorial Skating Fund will be used to pay for the Club Ice Scholarship. ​
If you would like to apply for the Scholarship:
See the Nana's Fund Scholarship Announcement below for details on how to apply.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed to this memorial skating fund. We hope to offer this scholarship as an annual award.

This year, Nana’s Fund is seeking photographs representing the quiet hard work and dedication that happens behind the scenes – the preparation and perseverance before and after taking competition ice. We invite our young creators to submit an original black and white photograph they feel reflects the hard work, dedication, perseverance or other unseen aspects of our sport in some way - using their imagination and creativity.
