Scott Hamilton
Dorothy Hamill
Scott Hamilton, 1984 Olympic Figure Skating
Champion, returns to his role as host of Kaleidoscope
on Ice. Scott, the first American male figure skater
to win an Olympic medal in skating since 1960,
won every U.S. national championship and every
world championship from 1981-1984. He was also
inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame,
is a privileged member of the World Figure Skating
Hall of Fame, and became the first figure skater ever
to be inducted into the Madison Square Garden
Walk of Fame.
Dorothy Hamill’s name has been synonymous with
figure skating for more than three decades. At age
19, Dorothy took home the gold at the 1976 Winter
Games in Innsbruck, Austria and went on to win the
World Championship title. She is also a Three-Time
U.S. National Champion and an inductee of both
the Olympic Hall of Fame and the Figure Skating Hall
of Fame.
A long-time American icon, Dorothy was influential
both on and off the ice. She is credited with
developing the “Hamill Camel” skating move and
captured America by starting a fad with her infamous
bobbed hairstyle she wore during her Olympic gold
medal performance.
Scott, a cancer survivor, is the founder of the Scott
Hamilton C.A.R.E.S. Initiative (Cancer Alliance
for Research, Education and Survivorship) at the
Cleveland Clinic Taussig Center in Cleveland, Ohio,
its website chemocare.com and the patient mentor
network, Fourth Angel, in conjunction with the
Cleveland Clinic and CARES.
As a professional, Dorothy has skated with many
productions, including eight years with the Ice
Capades. She had an unprecedented four ABC
television prime time specials produced in her honor.
In late 2007, Dorothy released her memoir entitled
“A Skating Life: My Story” from Hyperion Publishing,
which made the New York Times Best Seller List.
A Three-Year Cancer Survivor, Dorothy is also
passionate about supporting and inspiring women
through their journey with cancer.

Patti LaBelle
Beautiful, simply does not describe the incomparable force known to
the world as Patti LaBelle. As time continues to evolve, the soulful songbird’s name has become synonymous
with grace, style, elegance and class. Belting out classic rhythm and blues renditions, pop standards and spiritual
sonnets have created the unique platform of versatility that Ms. Patti is known and revered for.
Two years ago, she reunited with Sarah Dash and Nona Hendryx for the first time in more than three
decades for the critically acclaimed Labelle reunion album, Back to Now. It’s a small wonder that Patti has
time for anything else in between recording and touring, but she makes time and the world is oh so happy
that she does!
In November 2008, she released her fifth book and third cookbook, Recipes for The Good Life, and an
instructional cooking DVD, In the Kitchen with Miss Patti. The cookbook features recipes and anecdotes
that reflect Patti’s philosophy that good cooking and the love of entertaining come from the heart. More
recently, Patti introduced a line of signature sauces and marinades called Lady Marmalade and launched a
designer bedding collection with Macy’s, Patti LaBelle Home.
In addition to her amazing career as an entertainer and entrepreneurial success, Ms. LaBelle’s work as
a humanitarian is just as legendary. She remains an advocate for adoption, foster care, Big Sisters and
the United Negro College Fund, among many other initiatives. While Ms. LaBelle’s celebrated career is
respected world-wide, she has also endured and survived personal strife. Within a 10-year period, she
lost her mother, three sisters and best friend to diabetes and cancer. In 1994, LaBelle was diagnosed with
diabetes and shortly thereafter became a spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association.
The same motivation that had Patricia Louise Holte blossom from a choir member to lead vocalist for Patti
LaBelle & The Bluebelles and later Labelle, to a solo artist is the same energy that keeps her fire burning at
sixty-six years young. “Each year I grow, and that’s a blessing from God. I do what I can do. I do what I feel
God has given me the energy to do, so I just go out there and I do it…It’s not about making money because
I don’t need money, but I need to sing. With a voice or without, I’ve got to get on that stage.” And the world
is thankful that Ms. Patti’s voice sounds so good to our ears.
Jordin Sparks
It has been nothing short of a whirlwind: The then youngest-ever
winner of American Idol, Jordin Sparks was just seventeen years old when she won the coveted title. In
reflection, it was the best training ground she could have ever had. “I didn’t know it when we were doing the
show, but all the interviews and behind-the-scenes stuff prepared me for now. Being on Idol was exciting,
exhilarating and slightly traumatic. I won the show I was a fan of, what could be better?” Thrown right in to
the spotlight and in to the recording studio, Jordin passed GO and never looked back.
In the four years that have followed, Jordin has released two albums on 19 Recordings/Jive Records. Her
self-titled debut went platinum, selling over 2 million copies worldwide, with the first three singles going top 5
and the album’s second single, “No Air” selling 4 million digital downloads. “No Air” also is the highest selling
single by any American Idol contestant and is listed #27 in Billboard’s Top 40 Biggest Duets of All Time.
Jordin’s second release, 2009’s BATTLEFIELD, debuted on the Billboard Album chart at number seven,
with the first single, also called “Battlefield,” reaching the top ten on the Billboard Singles Chart and second
single, “S.O.S. (Let the Music Play),” topping the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, becoming Jordin’s
first #1. Sparks also co-wrote four tracks on the album, including “911 Emergency,” “Was I The Only One,”
“Faith,” and “The Cure.” Cumulatively, her popular singles have sold almost 9 million downloads/ringtones.
Sparks has toured with Alicia Keys, The Jonas Brothers and Britney Spears and performed for Presidents
Bush and Obama, won two BET Awards, one American Music Award, one People’s Choice Award and has
been nominated for two MTV Awards and one Grammy.
With domination of popular music checked off her bucket list, what was Sparks going to do next? First
up, Broadway. Debuting as Nina Rosario in the Tony award winning musical, In The Heights, in the Fall of
2010, Sparks spent 12 weeks on the great white way. In the Fall of 2010 Jordin also unveiled her first ever
fragrance line with the fruity floriental scent titled, “Because of You”- thoughtfully named by Sparks to pay
tribute to her fans that have helped her to achieve her dreams.
In the summer of 2011, Jordin Sparks was featured on the cover of People Magazine’s Summer Double
Issue, MOST AMAZING BODIES, sang the theme song for the Disney film, “African Cats”, released the hot
dance single, “I Am Woman” (which became the theme song of the WNBA), and joined New Kids on the
Block/Backstreet Boys as a special guest on their North American summer tour. 2012 is proving to be even
more exciting as Sparks makes her feature film debut as Sparkle in the SONY Pictures film by the same name.

musical artists
Hunter Hayes
Among the many extraordinary things about Hunter Hayes, the
multi-talented musician, writer, producer and performer, what is most astonishing is that in truth, he’s just
getting started. And it is that fact which holds the promise of Hunter Hayes becoming one of the most
significant musical talents to emerge, not just from Nashville, but from anywhere, in a long, long time.
Already, he has accomplishments beyond most musicians wildest dreams: Singing “Jambalaya” with Hank
Williams Jr. in front of 200,000 people (15 million YouTube views) at the age of four; appearing with Robert
Duvall (who gave Hunter his first guitar) in “The Apostle” at the age of six; playing with Johnny and June
Cash, and Charlie Daniels at a BBQ; performing for President Clinton and many more.
Having moved to Nashville two years ago, Hayes was quickly signed to Universal Music Publishing Group.
At the same time, he was introduced to Atlantic Records’ Chairman/CEO and music visionary Craig
Kallman, who he signed with at Atlantic Records. “I’m blessed to be surrounded by people who appreciate
music and support what I do,” said Hayes.
The Breaux Bridge, Louisiana multi-instrumentalist (acoustic guitar, bass guitar, drums, electric guitar, ganjo,
mandolin, keys and more) continues to draw attention from thousands of fans, industry and media alike.
Billboard notes Hunter as “a prodigious talent…drawing on modern pop and country sounds – including
Keith Urban, John Mayer, Rascal Flatts and Jason Mraz” and USA Today recently raved that “if this Louisiana
singer is as good as this single [Storm Warning], he’s about to be a big country star.”
His self-titled Atlantic Records debut album was released October 11, kicking off release week with his
world-premiere national television debut on CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman of his Top 25 hit single,
“Storm Warning.” Hunter has co-written songs for renowned artist such as Rascal Flatts and Montgomery
Gentry and has shared the stage with Trace Adkins, Lady Antebellum, LeAnn Rimes, Brad Paisley and Keith
Urban, to name a few. He recently wrapped-up touring with superstar Taylor Swift on her “SPEAK NOW
World Tour 2011” and made his Grand Ole Opry debut. Hunter is currently on the road on his first headlining
tour, “Most Wanted” Tour 2011.
Andy Grammer
It’s widely known that it takes 10,000 hours of deliberate
practice to become an expert at anything. Andy Grammer logged his 10,000 hours of practice on the
streets of Los Angeles. With his car battery amplifier and acoustic guitar in tow, Grammer managed to sing
his way from the streets to the center of the music industry. In fact, Grammer wrote his hit single “Keep Your
Head Up” as a letter of encouragement to himself after he’d spent an exhausting day street performing and
had little to no money to show for it. The video, which features ground-breaking interactive technology in a
partnership between VEVO, Interlude, and S-Curve, won an MTV O Aware for Most Innovative Video. It also
reached #2 on the VH1 Music Video Countdown. Named one of Billboard’s 2011 Artists to Watch, Grammer recorded his album which released in June
2011 in New York and Los Angeles with a collection of top producers. He’s also the first male pop star since
2003 to reach the Top 10 Singles at Adult Pop Radio for “Keep Your Head Up” (#5). Grammer has already
performed on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CBS Early Show, Rachael Ray, VH1 Morning Buzz, Regis
& Kelly and the Gayle King Show. Artists such as Taylor Swift have gathered inspiration from Andy, who wrote lyrics from “Keep Your Head
Up” down her arm at a tour stop in Nebraska. The quote read “you gotta keep your head up but you can
let your hair down.”
Performing live remains a communal experience for the former street performer who’s toured with the Plain
White T’s, Josh Kelley, Natasha Bedingfield, and Colbie Caillat, among others. “As an artist, you have an
opportunity to get in and move things around in people,” said Grammer. “It’s one of the only times during the
day where they say, ‘I’m going to open up to some other stuff here,’ and you have that hour to get in and
move stuff around and put it all back together. Those are the best gigs, where you can see that the whole
room has moved somewhere together.” Kaleidoscope on Ice

Frosted Pink and Frosted Pink With A Twist were the televised
anchor events of a two-year multi-media campaign that
focused on women’s cancers. Through the combination of
music and sport, Frosted Pink and Frosted Pink With A Twist
provided a unique entertainment and messaging format that
empowered millions as it related to key issues surrounding
women’s health.
Kaleidoscope is a holiday celebration on FOX that combines
the beauty of Skating, the excitement of Song, and the brave
message of Survivorship to raise awareness of the key issues
surrounding cancer survivorship. Kaleidoscope features the
biggest stars in figure skating and song performing inspiring
routines that pay tribute to the millions of Americans who are
surviving cancer. By pairing awareness and education with
the talent and beauty of champion ice skaters and music
performers, Kaleidoscope inspires both those dealing with
cancer and those who want to do more in the fight against it.

skating champions with Grammy Award winning artists in the
first ever pairing of iconic stars from both disciplines.

the 2008 Summer Olympic Games performing with pop music

Cancer Bites is a blood cancer awareness and education
initiative that harnesses pop culture’s obsession with
vampires and utilizes their celebrity affiliations to highlight key
messages and to support lifesaving research. Cancer Bites
will raise awareness about blood cancers as the leading
type of cancer in children and teens in the United States and
encourage a broad national dialogue about the risk factors,
diagnosis, treatment options and side effects. The campaign
will provide resources for those who are diagnosed with blood
cancers and their loved ones.
ON THE LINE is a new initiative in health education that
harnesses the power of sports and celebrity to challenge men
to take charge of their health. It’s a fact: One in six men will be
diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Yet, despite
this alarming statistic, many men will not discuss their risks,
or testing and treatment options with their doctors – until it’s
very late in the game.
In a compelling, sports and entertainment-themed platform,
athletes, commentators, celebrities and legendary sports
coaches all play a role in encouraging a dialogue between men
and their family, friends and physicians about the risk factors
and range of diagnosis and treatment options related to
prostate cancer.
