U.S. Figure Skating is pleased to announce that it has extended its sponsorship with The James at Ohio State, one of the top cancer hospitals in the nation as ranked by U.S. News & World Report, for the 2026-27 competitive season.

The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (The James at Ohio State) is the only cancer program in the United States that features a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center aligned with a nationally ranked academic medical center and a freestanding cancer hospital on the campus of one of the nation's largest public universities. The Columbus, Ohio, hospital has also earned Magnet® recognition, the highest honor an organization can receive for quality patient care and professional nursing practice. This year, it celebrated 50 years as an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center and is the third-largest cancer hospital in the United States.

The James at Ohio State will serve as the official sponsor of the kiss and cry at 2026 Saatva Skate America in Everett, Washington, and the 2027 Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Utah. Additionally, The James at Ohio State will receive exposure across NBC and Peacock throughout the figure skating season.

"We are thrilled to continue our sponsorship with The James this season," U.S. Figure Skating Chief Commercial Officer Annie White said. "The James shares our commitment to excellence and having a meaningful impact on the people and communities we serve, making this a natural fit."
