The annual American Girl Doll Skate at the Greeley Ice Haus embraces the theme of the 2022 American Girl Doll of the Year, Corrine Tan™.

Corrine is a school-aged Asian American student from Aspen, Colorado, and a skier who is committed to helping shelter animals. She struggles with some real-life challenges as she embraces changes in her family with a new stepdad, faces racism at school, and learns how to share her feelings by taking one day at a time as she navigates the world she lives in.

American Girl Doll Giveaway

“We’re delighted to be able to offer an in-person event this year as we have in years past,” said Ice Haus Coordinator Carla Villavicencio. “The highlight of the event is when we give away the American Girl Doll of the Year. The expressions on kids’ faces as we get ready to announce the winner each year is so heartwarming. American Girl truly instills great values, positive role models, embraces diversity, and develops unique characteristics with each of their annual dolls and storylines.”

“We are thrilled to be able to grant one child the 2022 American Girl Doll of the Year, Corrine Tan™ at the event this year as our grand prize,” she said. “This doll exemplifies the true idea of giving back to your community by adopting a shelter pet and training a rescue dog. We love the local connection of Corrine Tan™, a doll from Colorado, whose younger sister is an ice skater. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our community’s diversity and compassion for those animals in need of a good home.”
