4Wall New York Sponsors "Skate for Love" Cancer Benefit

4Wall New York recently donated entertainment lighting for Skate for Love, a figure skating and entertainment exhibition benefitting the Susan G. Komen cancer foundation. The event was the brainchild of competitive figure skaters Corinna Lin and Madison Olivieri.

Held on April 16th at the Mennen Sports Arena, the first ever "Skate for Love" included skating performances by over thirty professionals from around the globe; as well as Olympic figure skaters Emily Hughes and Kimmie Meissner. Musical guests Eddie Brigati and Lisa Bouchelle also performed.

4Wall provided not only the lighting for the event but also on-site labor and support. The goal of enhancing the performers with an inviting atmospheres led to a gear list that included Vari*Lite VL3000 Spots and VL3500 Washes, as well as CM Motors and Lycian Followspots.

Wayne Olivieri of Skate for Love spoke of the lighting's effect on the performance:

"4Wall saved Skate for Love with the generous donation of an incredible professional lighting system. The 4Wall crew worked out any problem that came along and kept a positive attitude while never seeming unnerved about anything."

The result was a well-attended and well-received event that should ensure that this first incarnation of Skate for Love is not the last.
