About Kristi Yamaguchi:
Athlete, artist, wife, mother, philanthropist — in each of these things Kristi Yamaguchi embodies the word champion. Her motto is “Always dream,” and Kristi’s accomplishments prove that dreams can come true with hard work and dedication. Her achievements — on the ice, in her personal life and in the realm of community service — are many, all of which prove her consistent commitment to excellence. One of Kristi’s lasting legacies will be her Always Dream Foundation. Established in 1996, the foundation has been an active fundraiser and supporter of children’s charities in the San Francisco Bay area, including annual Christmas toy drives. It organized two large-scale events in Hawaii, where able-bodied and disabled children competed side by side in an Olympic-themed camp. The major project currently on her schedule is the development of a “boundless playground.” Kristi’s athletic achievements include Olympic Gold Medalist, two-time World Champion, U.S. Champion, four-time World Professional Champion and two-time U.S. Pair Competition champion. Kristi lives with her husband, Bret Hedican, of the Carolina Hurricanes, and their two daughters in Raleigh, N.C., and Alamo, Calif.
