The Gene Meadows Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Gene Meadows Memorial Scholarship Fund supports skaters in our Learn-to-Skate USA program.

Purpose of the Fund

This memorial fund is named after Gene Meadows, a long-time member of the Binghamton Figure Skating Club who passed away in 2011. Gene was a founding member of the BFSC, served on its Board of Governors, helped provide music equipment for club skating sessions, served as the club's long-time skate sharpener, and partnered developing skaters through their ice dance tests.

The purpose of the fund is to support skaters with a financial need in our Learn-to-Skate USA Program. While the club has long offered scholarships through discounted fees, this fund will allow donations to be directed specifically to that purpose. All donations will be acknowledged in our Spring Exhibition Program. Administration of these funds will be at the discretion of the BFSC Board of Governors.  If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please contact the Learn to Skate Director or one of the Board Members for an application.
