Skate-a-Thon 2022
FoCo Roller Derby is a skater-owned & operated non-profit organization, founded in 2006, that fosters athleticism, sportspersonship, inclusion, and empowerment of its members through the sport of flat-track roller derby.
Skate-A-Thon donations help to fund our Hardship Scholarships, Loaner Equipment Library, Practice Space, and Operational Expenses and support our ability to help all league members participate in our sport. This will be FoCo Roller Derby’s 11th Annual Skate-A-Thon nonprofit fundraiser! This year, we are raising money for our league to fund tools and materials to engage new and existing members so that we can strengthen and grow the core community of skaters, officials, and volunteers in Northern Colorado.
Space Wanted
We had a major success this year when we secured a lease for a small, but mighty practice/meeting space that we could call our own. However, the search continues for a primary facility large enough for a full-sized roller derby flat-track where we can practice and host games for our fans.
Roller derby is so much more than a sport. There is a consistent, genuine, support system that exists here for its community members.
Community Resilience
Roller derby is so much more than a sport. There is a consistent, genuine, support system that exists here for its community members. Something we say from the very first new recruit meeting is that “Derby will always be here,” and there is a dedicated group of dynamic people who work hard every day to make sure that that phrase holds true and to preserve this essential community in Fort Collins. We’ve even had founding members return to active status to help lift up this organization and bring the strength and resilience of this community to the next generation of its members. There is no denying the pandemic presented challenges to us all in nearly every aspect of our lives, but we are still here to be a team, have fun, and Brew Victory!
There has never been a better time to partner with Foco Roller Derby as we strive to continue offering roller derby to our members and our community. Thank you for joining us!
