BFSC is a Not for-Profit 501(c)(3) organization whose goal is to promote the sport of figure skating. At the Frank Southern Ice Arena, there is no freestyle skating allowed on public ice, and there are no rink-sponsored figure skating sessions for practice. Therefore all freestyle skating in Bloomington occurs through BFSC.

The BFSC purchases ice time for our members to practice ($240/hr) through Parks and Recreation. In a typical year the money collected from our membership fees and ice passes covers only about two thirds of the season's ice rental. Fundraising helps keep membership fees from increasing and helps cover our costs. About $6000/year in fundraising is necessary to keep the club in full operation.
