The Injured Skater Fund

Help us get Bad Penny up and rolling again!

On Monday, July 7th, Bad Penny (founder of our league and pivot for our team) was injured during a practice scrimmage. After being taken to the emergency room, Bad Penny found out that she had broken her leg in 3 places, requiring surgery to install pins and plates in her leg.

This collection is to help Bad Penny with her recovery. The funds that are collected will go towards her living expenses during the healing process. She is a server and a hairstylist, so she will not be able to return to work for awhile.

As a member of the DCRG family, please help by participating in the DCRG Injured Skaters Fund, to help cover basic living expenses for incidents like these. We love roller derby, but there's no question that it's a full-contact sport...broken bones and other serious injuries come our way pretty regularly, and we believe roller derby shouldn't put anyone (deeply) into debt.

Pledgers will receive our grateful thanks and a warm fuzzy feeling. Oh, and the fundraiser runs till August 2nd...so pledge early, pledge often, and please post this link on your myspace, journal, blog, or anywhere else that will help publicize it!

Thanks,
Your Derby City Rollergirls
