Following the 1994 Olympics, Kerrigan turned her attention to exhibitions, shows and corporate endorsements. Nancy toured for ten years with Champions on Ice; performed in dozens of live and made for television shows including Disney's Dreams on Ice, Feld Entertainment's Grease on Ice, StarGames' production of Footloose on Ice and her own show, Halloween on Ice. Kerrigan also authored two books on skating including Artistry on Ice, an instructional work published by Human Kinetics and currently hosts her own television show "Nancy Kerrigan's World of Skating" on Comcast CN8.
Nancy's dedication to charitable work off the ice is just as eye-opening as are her performances on the ice. In 1999 she established the Nancy Kerrigan Foundation, in honor of her mother, to help non-profit organizations that support the vision impaired and in 2007 she was named a national spokesperson for the Foundation Fighting Blindness. In addition, Nancy also has been an active fundraiser for Campaign SightFirst and has participated in such benefit ice events as An Evening of Championship Skating, Kraft Dreams On Ice, Skate Against Hate and Stars, Stripes & Skates.
In 2001, Nancy was voted Outstanding Mother of the Year by the National Mother's Day Committee and also received the prestigious Henry Iba Award. More recently, in addition to her role as wife and mother of two, Kerrigan appeared in the 2006 FOX television program "Skating with Celebrities", served as a correspondent for "The Insider" at the Torin Winter Olympics and shot a cameo appearance in the movie "Blades of Glory" featuring Will Ferrell.
