Fundraiser - Help Gotham Roller Derby Get Back on Track

Gotham Roller Derby needs your help to keep NYC's only flat track roller derby league for adults and youth rolling.

Since the pandemic shutdown we have had to make some difficult financial decisions, one of the biggest being the loss of our practice space of 10+ years. While our search for a new space continues, our funds continue to deplete. Despite some financial support from dues, merch, and running limited paid programming, our operating costs surpass what we are bringing in.

Our search for a new home has been greatly complicated due to the pandemic, our financial situation, and the changing real estate market -- but we believe Gotham is worth fighting for!

Gotham Roller Derby has applied for a grant through A Community Thrives, a fundraising competition that will allow us to win additional awards so long as we raise $5,000 on our own through our MightyCause Fundraising Page.

Here's how you can help us meet our goal and win up to $25,000 in bonus awards!

  1. Donate a minimum of $5 on our fundraising page between now and August 13. The best window of time to donate is August 3 - August 9, where we can be eligible to earn an additional $4,000!

  2. Share our fundraising page (https://acommunitythrives.mightycause.com/story/Gotham-Back-On-Track) with your family and friends - every donation of at least $5 increases the chance we have of winning bonus awards!

  3. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and re-share our posts; we'll be sharing testimonials from the Gotham community on what the league means to them.

Thanks for being a part of our community!
