Southbay servicing organization Rainbow Spaces is pleased to bring Ice Skating to our LGBTQ+ youth and Rainbow families in our southern San Diego communities. Knowing that access to most events centered in central and north San Diego is difficult, and that many times the cost exceeds what families can allocate for, we are pleased to offer the tickets cost free due to private donations. We quickly filled this event, which will take place at the Hotel Del Coronado on Monday, Dec. 13th from 6pm to 8pm. We thank the Hotel del organizations that helped us bring this accessible event to our community, Frost Bite and Ice Rink events. We are expecting over 50 youth and 70 participants to attend this fully inclusive LGBTQ+ event centered on creating safe spaces for queer youth in our community.
