SKATE-A-THON
We're hosting our annual Skate-A-Thon fundraiser on Saturday, March 30, 2024!
Since losing our local game space in 2022, our season is now made up entirely of away games, which has impacted us financially. The purpose of our Skate-A-Thon is to help TRD ease the loss of home game revenues by raising money to offset travel and lodging costs for our skaters.
This year, we are trading laps on the track for miles on the pavement, as our Skate-A-Thon will be held on the St. Marks Historic Railroad Trail. TRD skaters will attempt to skate all 16 miles from the Main Trailhead in Tallahassee to the St. Marks River Trailhead.
Donate!
Visit our 99Pledges page to donate to your favorite skater or the league itself. As we hit different fundraising goals, this is what we will do:
League Total Fundraising Tiers
$1000 Skaters will share their favorite "derby fail" photos
$1500 TRD will record relay games and endurance races at practice
$2000 Trail Checkpoint #1 becomes a hula hoop competition
$3000 Trail Checkpoint #2 becomes a limbo party
$4000 Trail Checkpoint #3 becomes an obstacle course!
$6000 GOAL MET!
Volunteer or Skate with Us!
We are in need of volunteers to staff the checkpoints, hand out water, and facilitate silly games. A volunteer signup form is here.
Have your own wheels? Donate $10 and sign up here to join us on the trail and test your endurance! Ride a bike, board or scooter if you're not a skater. All ages are welcome; children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
