Green Mountain Roller Derby Pride Fundraiser

This year, Green Mountain Roller Derby sadly had to cancel their Pride-themed bout in May. Instead, they are asking their fans to donate the price of their tickets to Spectrum instead to support their COVID-19 response to LGBTQ+ youth. 

It's a sad fact that nationally, about 40% of homeless youth identify as LGBTQ+, and the youth Spectrum serves are no different. For many youth, Spectrum is one of the first places where they feel seen and heard by adults. 

For the price of a GMRD ticket ($6 for children, $8 for students, seniors and miltary, and $10 for adults), you can help teenagers and young adults who identify as LGBTQ+ get the help they need when they need it most: a warm meal, a place to sleep, counseling, mentoring, or coaching on life skills.

Green Mountain Roller Derby looks forward to seeing you at their next bout, and in the meantime, thank you for making sure our community's LGBTQ+ youth have someone to turn to during this pandemic.
