WINDY CITY ROLLERS NON-PROFIT INC

The Windy City Rollers (WCR) are a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to raising the visibility of roller derby in the international arena and supporting skaters playing in our local communities. We have been proud members of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association since its inception; and we boast a roster featuring some of the most talented skaters in the sport. Despite being the fastest-growing sport in the world, roller derby remains an amateur sport that relies on the generosity of our sponsors to raise the funds we need to grow and give our skaters the means to consistently remain some of the most talented athletes playing today – and tomorrow. The Windy City Rollers mentor youth just starting to play junior roller derby, and welcomes people of all ages and ability levels to get involved in a sport that prides itself on being real, athletic, and revolutionary. The impact of roller derby on the lives of skaters and fans is so much more than just a good workout. The roller derby community provides an inclusive, supportive and empowering space for people to grow as athletes and as individuals. In addition to putting in long hours on the track, our league also participates in a number of philanthropic endeavors, especially those that encourage women to break societal norms and pursue their dreams. Most recently we volunteered with the IceBox Derby hosted by ComEd which encouraged young women to pursue careers in STEM
