Walk & Roll Success!
Tuesday, May 01, 2012
The Chicago Bruise Brothers participated in the American Cancer Society "Walk & Roll" 10 mile skate event today! The Chicago derby community had a great presence at the event, and we were there to help kick cancer. Go CBB's!!
We also skated alongside our derby sisters from across the Chicagoland area: the Windy City Rollers, Chicago Outfit, Derby Lite and DuPage County Derby Dames.
Our team's goal was to raise $3500 for the fight against cancer. We were able to get a total of $3,973 in donations! Thanks to all of the people that donated and helped to make this happen.
Walk and Roll 2012
Monday, April 02, 2012
Chicago Bruise Brothers are participating for the first time this year in American Cancer Society's Walk and Roll in Chicago! This event will have participants walking, biking or roller skating along the Chicago shore of Lake Michigan. Fundraising efforts of our team are going toward the efforts American Cancer Society is making to help those affected with cancer fight their disease, to find cures and fight the ongoing battle against cancer.
There will be over 1.6 million new cases of cancer in 2012 in the United States and more than half a million deaths. Many members of the roller derby community in Chicago have been affected by cancer directly or indirectly and as such, have been present at this 41 year old event. We are very happy to a part of this cancer fighting fundraising event and we have achieved nearly 75% of our fundraising goal of $2,500.
If you want to help reach our goals of punching out cancer, donate on our team's fundraising page

Meet and Greet Pre-Gamers
Before all Windy City Roller Home Bouts, the Chicago Bruise Brothers invite all skater and fans of roller to share a few drinks over some great food at Union Park Lounge. Chat with us about current roller derby strategies and how matchups are panning out or find out about our own teams progress and upcoming bouts or scrimmages.
After enjoying the company of derby fans and skaters a less than a 10 minute walk south of Union Park Lounge will get you to UIC Pavillion. Join us when we cheer on our own favorite rollers, like Coaches Rose Feratu and Hoosier Mama!
