It’s a big part of our identity, is we fall down, we get up. We get injured, we get up,” skating icon Scott Hamilton said.

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

A star-studded group of some of the best U.S. figure skaters of the past and present took the ice in the nation's capital to remember and raise money for the victims of the midair collision outside Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

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.

The memorial event at Capital One Arena was co-hosted by Olympic champions Brian Boitano and Kristi Yamaguchi.

The tribute show "Legacy on Ice" will feature dozens of the most well-known faces in American figure skating, from Peggy Fleming to Nathan Chen.

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.

The Washington, D.C., event honored the 67 victims of the Jan. 29 crash, including six from the Skating Club of Boston.
