The Denver Roller Dolls are encouraging fans, skaters, and other friends to bring specific donations to our 2013 bouts. There are boxes for each team at the main entrance to collect the items, and there will be special recognition for the team who brings the most items at the end of the year -- plus special giveaways along the way for fans who bring donations.Our last 2013 drive:October 12: coats to benefit Coats for ColoradoSample items: winter coats, fleece jackets.
