Roller derby has evolved into a true sport with rules and regulations. It involves athleticism and dedication. Beach Brawl SK8R Dolls, LLC is also filing for a not-for-profit status this season. We anticipate achieving federal recognition as a “501(c)3” charity by this year’s end which will make your contributions, donations, and sponsorship tax deductible. Unlike other teams, Beach Brawl SK8R Dolls will not pay our skaters. Your money will benefit the team so that we can hold bouts and help secure donations for local women’s and local children’s charities, such as Shelter House, Children In Crisis, Habitat For Humanity, and the Rotary Club’s youth camp, among others. Donations and contributions to the league will help to further our mission:

The BBSD is the first-ever women’s flat track roller derby league in the area. Comprised of women from all walks of life, we are a charitable organization with our main focus being the empowerment of women and the protection of children.

Several leagues have formed along the Emerald Coast and surrounding areas. These cities include, but are not limited to, Panama City, Pensacola, Mobile, Tampa, Tallahassee, Birmingham and Huntsville. Panama City Roller Derby has been very successful in not only giving women a sport of their own, but also fostering the community’s interest in skating and has revitalized a local rink. Each league was a grassroots effort and all are skater owned and operated.

As most of our bouts will be “away” games this season, we are more than willing to make appearances at any events your company or organization plans to hold. If there are charity events we can help with on your behalf, all the better! We have a Web site and a MySpace page where we will proudly display our sponsors’ names and information and will print that same information in our home event programs and on a collective sponsor banner.
