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. Hats, gloves, and scarves can be donated but will be taken to a local shelter, as Coats for Colorado does not collect these.Results to date:Our 5/18 bout garnered 376+ troop care package items for Colorado Supporting Our Troops.

Mile High Club Takes Second at Golden Bowl!
The Denver Roller Dolls' traveling all-star team the Mile High Club took second at the third annual Golden Bowl in Chicago, IL. The Mile High Club faced as a tough schedule, playing three games in two days against nationally ranked Bay Area All-Stars, the Texas all-star team The Texecutioners, and the home town Windy City All-Stars. The Mile Club played three hard-fought games, triumphing over Bay Area and losing to Texas and Windy City. However, the games were very close and because of the point spread and records of the other teams, the Mile High Club took second in the tournament. Congratulations MHC!If you would like to help the Mile High Club keep kicking booty across the country please consider donating. Each member of the Mile High Club pays their own way every away game and that really adds up! Please help them represent Denver all over the country. Donate today!
