About Me

Nothing's nicer than new wheels, and rink regulars know that after decades of use, the Chez Vous skate collection is ready for a revamp. Sponsor-a-Skate with Chez Vous, and help us support a threatened community institution.
The Student Council is aiming to bring in 300 new pairs of skates to Chez Vous. Any amount brings us closer to our goal, but each individual donation of $75 buys a whole pair of skates. For that, we'll put your initials on the pair. A tax-deductible contribution to our Sponsor-a-Skate drive makes a great gift for a birthday or company group.
Chez Vous is the premier roller skating location in the Boston area, and it doubles as a crucial after-school spot for neighborhood kids. Become part of the future of the last rink in Boston by donating via Paypal at [email protected]. If you choose, send a check to
Chez Vous Fund 11 Rhoades St. Boston, MA 02124
Please note on your check, or in Paypal's notes section, how you'd like to be named on the pair. The feet of tomorrow's skaters thank you!
