Children with a Big through Big Brothers Big Sisters are 52% less likely to skip school. It’s statistics like this that remind us to care for not just our friends and family but our communities.

BHRG is committed to our community. We are participating in Bowl for Kids’ Sake to support Big Brothers Big Sisters. Please follow the donation link above and help us support our community. Any amount helps, whether it’s $5 or $100. Our goal is to help raise $1000 for this extremely worthy charity.

That is why we need your help sending the Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls off to New Orleans to kick some ass. We need to raise an additional $300+ to cover the cost of travel (our first charter bus!). If everyone gave a couple of dollars, we could easily raise that amount. Show your support for the Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls so they can show their love for their fans… by coming home with a win.

Thank you!

That is why we need the help of you, our fans, to send the Flatliners off to Omaha to kick some ass. We need to raise an additional $400 to cover the cost of travel (two van rentals plus gas). If everyone just gave a couple of dollars, we could easily raise that amount. Show your support for the Flatliners so they can show their love for their fans… by coming home with an upset win.

Come try beers from across the region, gorge on Upland eats, rock out to live bands, and enjoy a beautiful summer day outdoors! The taps open at 5pm and don’t stop ’til 11!

Remember that ridiculous costume you wore last Halloween and thought you’d never put on again? It’s time has come! To kick the radness level up a notch, Upland is giving a free meal ticket to anyone dressed RAD, and the person dressed most RAD of all will win a $200 gift card to Upland’s Bloomington Tap Room, not to mention vicious bragging rights.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to our 2010 primary charity, Middle Way House.

Tickets are $30 day of or $25 in advance. Available at Upland’s Bloomington Tap Room, Indy Tasting Room, and online at www.buskirkchumley.org.

On to the bout.  Hot on the wheels of their recent win, The Bleeding Heartland Roller Girls Flatliners will be taking on the fastest things to come out of Louisville, and we’re not talking ponies!   The Derby City Roller Girls (DCRG) of Louisville will be visiting Bloomington for a challenge they’re not soon to forget.  This will be Derby City’s fifth interleague bout this season, and they’ve shown some solid wins.  However, your Flatliners are just warming up; with only three games and our first tournament behind us, we’ve got plenty of steam and smarts to let loose on the track.  And we need BHRG fans to pack the stands at the Twin Lakes Recreation Center to cheer us on!

The game will take place at the Twin Lakes Recreation Center at 1700 W. Bloomfield Rd., on Saturday, June 12.  Doors open at 6:00 PM, and the bout starts at 7:00.

Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Kid’s tickets are $5, children under 4 get in free.  Tickets are available at all Bloomingfoods locations, Rolling Thunder Fun Factory, Sunrise Box Office, Twin Lakes Recreation Center, Vintage Phoenix Comics, and brownpapertickets.com (search BHRG).  Or, just ask your favorite rollergirl to hook you up!

Girls Incorporated is a national youth organization dedicated to helping girls become strong, smart, and bold.  They host a variety of programs aimed at tutoring, developing talents, and improving life skills of girls ages 6-18.  To find out how you can get involved as a volunteer or donor, visit www.girlsinc-monroe.org.
