Olympic figure skating alternates Kim Navarro of Santa Rosa and partner Brent Bommentre will appear Saturday at Snoopy's Home Ice.
The show is sponsored by the Santa Rosa Figure Skating Club and sanctioned by U.S. Figure Skating.
Navarro and Bommentre performed well in the U.S. National Championships in January, barely missing a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.
Navarro, born and raised in Santa Rosa and a 1999 graduate of El Molino High, learned to skate at Snoopy's Home Ice.
She graduated cum laude from Columbia University while competing on the national and international circuit.
Having won the attention of judges at the nationals, Navarro and Bommentre have set their sights on the 2010 Olympics. They are currently in training in Philadelphia for the upcoming Grand Prix season as U.S. representatives to Skate America and Skate Canada.
The "Spirit of Champions" exhibition in Santa Rosa will be 3-5:30 p.m. Tax-deductible donations are $50 for adults, $25 for children under 18. Ticket order forms are available at Snoopy's Home Ice or by visiting www.navarro-bommentre.org.
The exhibition includes skating and a "meet and greet" reception. Seating is limited.
Proceeds benefit the club on behalf of Navarro and Bommentre to help offset their competitive training expenses.
