Maine Roller Derby’s Benefit Bout will support Queerly ME & Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter

Portland, Maine – October 21, 2024 – Maine Roller Derby’s annual Benefit Bout will support Queerly ME and the Maine Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Fans can expect a shake up to the usual teams and rules of a Maine Roller Derby bout. This November, YOU can influence the outcome of the game and support our community partners in the process. 

Attendees can make donations that impact the game by purchasing “points” for the team of their choice or by purchasing and redeeming game action tickets. Actions can include: sending a skater, skating official, or coach of your choice to the box, starting a skater dance party, choosing a team’s jammer for the next jam, forcing a two-minute jam with no lead jammer, flipping the track and having play continue in the opposite direction, picking the blocker and jammer lineup for a team’s next jam.

The skaters of the Ship Wreckers and R.I.P. Tides will also be mixed up for this bout so you can expect to see teammates facing off against each other! 

In addition to the roller derby action, this event will offer a family-friendly atmosphere with food and beverage options, merchandise, and opportunities to meet the athletes. Attendees are encouraged to bring their friends and families to enjoy an evening of excitement and entertainment. Don’t miss your chance to witness the action-packed Benefit Bout and support your local roller derby athletes and our community partners.
