cat on the micFrom the Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls:

Roller derby season may have come to an end but BHRG’s commitment to making this world a better place for skaters, non-skaters, and furry creatures continues. On Saturday, November 14, BHRG will be hosting a benefit for Deep Roots Animal Sanctuary at The Bishop, complete with karaoke, snacks and prizes. All proceeds will go towards helping Deep Roots build and winterize shelters for the sanctuary animals.

In addition, BHRG will be holding their annual merch liquidation sale. All merchandise will be discounted!

So, come sing for the animals and get some holiday shopping done at the same time! And wherever roller girls are, good times are sure to follow!

Saturday, November 14, 2009, 7:00pm – 10:00pm

The Bishop is located at 123 S. Walnut St., Bloomington, IN [map]

The Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls have been really generous to us the past couple of years. In 2009, they made us the Charity of the Year and handed us a $2000 check at the last home bout in October. Several of the rollergirls have also helped us out by volunteering at the sanctuary and donating critter food and materials for construction (one of them also adopted a cat from us). We would love to show them how much we appreciate all they’ve done for us by having our supporters come to this event and buy up the last of their 2009 merchandise.

So bring friends and come join in on the fun.

By the way, the Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls is also a volunteer-ran organization. If you are interested in volunteering in their 2010 season, contact volunteer (at) bleedingheartlandrollergirls.com.
