We're Rollergirls with Big Hearts!
We may be rough and tumble out on the track but we love being involved in the Evansville community. In the past our league has partnered with several charitable and non-profit organizations through donations, contributions and volunteering. We're proud of the impact we've made and are always looking for more opportunities to give back. If you know of a group that may be interested in working with DCRD, contact us!
