The Shea family represents the first three-generation family to compete in the Winter Olympic Games.  Jack Shea competed in the 1932 Winter Olympics, where he won two gold medals in the 1500 and 500 meter Speed Skating events. Jim Shea, Sr. competed in Nordic combined and Cross Country Skiing during the 1964 Winter Olympics. In the 2002 Winter Olympics, Jim Shea, Jr. won the gold medal in Skeleton, a reintroduced Olympic event.

This family personifies the Olympic ideals of perseverance, dedication, sportsmanship and dignity. The Shea's commitment to athletic excellence has been an inspiration to the Olympic community for three generations. Now, the Shea's want to carry on their Olympic legacy by providing athlete scholarships, education, publicity, and equipment to provide opportunities for today's youth to participate in speed skating, ski-jumping and skeleton.
