The Cincinnati Rollergirls have entered a contest to win a $25,000 FedEx Small Business Grant, which the team would put toward the first-ever dedicated roller derby facility in Cincinnati.
Currently, CRG rents time at local skating rinks for practices three days a week and Schmidt Memorial Fieldhouse at Xavier University for games. A dedicated roller derby facility would enable the team to continue to develop its internationally competitive team; open up opportunities to teach the sport of roller derby to skaters of all ages, genders, and skill levels; and further promote the growth of the sport of flat track roller derby.
The winners of the FedEx Small Business Grant are determined in part by public voting. Supporters can vote once per person per 24-hour period through April 4, 2018 by clicking the link below.
