The Rose City Rollers Junior Program is a unique opportunity for youth (ages 7-17) of all body types, backgrounds, and skill levels to play a team sport, grow our affirming community, build confidence, meet lifelong friends, take on leadership roles, work with talented mentors and coaches that share similar identities, and excel at the sport of roller derby!
Roller Rally, a 2 part fundraiser, protects this program of nearly 200 skaters by keeping it accessible- with funds going directly to scholarships (dues, uniforms, insurance), free protective gear & skate rentals, travel, and so much more. Our goal this year is $36,000! Safeguarding and supporting our Junior Program for the future generations of skaters being raised at the Hangar (aka, our facility) is vital for growing our sport & community in PDX and beyond.
We hope you’ll join us in supporting the future generation of roller derby. DONATE BELOW!
1. Pledge Drive (March 14th-May 18th)
For the next two months, skaters will be fundraising in support of the junior program and working towards individual & team goals! Stay in the loop by following along on Instagram & our fundraising page where you can sponsor a skater, donate to the Juniors Program, and hear from the juniors themselves!
2. Carnival (Sunday May 18th 12pm-4pm)
The Roller Rally Carnival is an epic finale to the pledge drive! This is a family-friendly, daytime carnival-themed spectacular where attendees can play games, win prizes, eat delicious concessions, do arts and crafts, and pet cute pigs (yes, we’re serious)- all while supporting junior roller derby! Mark your calendars and invite all your friends- it’s gonna be fun!
