Goals include qualifying for the 2010 U.S. World Synchronized Skating Team, skating clean programs and improving at every competition ... Team co-captain Katilyn Peterson has been a Crystallette for 13 years and is the daughter of coach Shannon Peterson ... Team members volunteer with various organizations such as Special Olympics, soup kitchens, programs promoting physical fitness and fun for young girls, and animal shelters ... Team hosted an American Red Cross blood drive in June 2009 ... Performed for the third time at the Detroit Red Wings Alumni Charity Game for Autism in November ... Team will also perform at an Adrian University benefit for cancer research ... Mascot is a giraffe because the animals are tall, elegant and "stick their necks out for others" ... Before entering ice at competitions, the last person in line starts to "fluff" the person's skirt in front of them, and it continues to the front of the line ... Enlisted a ballroom dance specialist for their free skate.
