We are grateful for our 2024 Featured Celebrity, Olympic five-time gold medal speed skater, Bonnie Blair!

Blair began her Olympic journey in 1984 and took home the gold in the Winter Olympics of 1988, 1992, and 1994. She quickly became an inspiration for aspiring athletes and women in sports worldwide. Off the ice, Blair has been equally impactful as a public speaker. Her dedication to various charitable causes and her role in promoting sports, particularly with younger generations, continue her legacy.
