The Legacy on Ice benefit event, featuring U.S. figure skating stars, payed tribute to the 67 people who died in the Washington, D.C., plane crash on Jan. 29.

At the end of his figure skating performance, when the last note of his parents’ favorite song played in an arena packed with spectators and heavy with sorrow, Maxim Naumov dropped to his knees at the center of the ice. He remained there for what seemed like forever, awash in a spotlight, looking lost and sobbing.

Organizers of a figure skating benefit event in Washington, D.C. said they have already raised $1.2 million for victims of the plane crash over the Potomac River and first responders.

The Legacy on Ice event at Capital One Arena on Sunday will recognize the skaters, coaches and parents who died in the January crash while raising money for first responders and the affected families.

Twenty-eight members of the figure skating community were among the 67 people killed in the Jan. 29 collision and crash.

The Washington Capitals and Tampa Bay Lightning will honor the victims of the DCA plane crash, one month to the day of the horrific accident.

Dzens of U.S. figure skaters descended on the District this weekend: to honor the coaches, skaters and family members they lost in January’s American Airlines crash outside Reagan National Airport.
