Tilted Thunder has taught countless women, including my daughters, that they can be strong and exceptional. Roller derby has shown them that hard work pays off, and that women of all shapes and sizes can kick ass. In these days of rising hate and division, I believe those lessons are more important than ever.

I hope you’ll consider a donation to TTRB. There are plenty of “thank you” gifts available at different levels, but the best gift of all is the knowledge that you’re helping an amazing group of women (and a few good men) continue to empower women and girls by keeping banked track roller derby alive in the Northwest.

May the Force be With You,
