Ivy King Cup Charities: Planned Parenthood of Illinois and Tequila Mockingbird

Bouts, Charity, Organizations, Skaters » Posted June 3rd, 2010 by

Our bout donation for the Ivy King Cup will be going to Planned Parenthood of Illinois.

PPIL's 17 health centers throughout the state deliver vital health care services, sex education, and sexual health information to more than 65,000 women and families each year. For more than 60 years, building healthy communities has been Planned Parenthood’s mission.

As an added bonus, all proceeds from the Black & White Scrimmage captains' auction will be donated to Tequila Mockingbird.

In August 2007, veteran skater Tequila Mockingbird fell and seriously injured her spinal cord during a bout. Since that day, Tequila works daily in therapy to regain her strength and physical abilities. She has regained some movement in all of her limbs and due to sheer perseverance and hard work, she is using the walking machine and swimming with the assistance of her physical therapists.
