To the best fans in the Universe:
We extend our deepest gratitude for your support throughout our very own Western Regional tournament! Skating in OUR house, surrounded by OUR fans made our victories all the sweeter. Your cheers fueled our triumphs and your golden attire lit up the track.
As if your heckles, face paint and golden sequins were not enough, we now ask for your financial support in making our championship dreams come true.
We began this season with the singular goal of building a team that could stand with the best in the west. We have faced triumphs and defeats but throughout it all, we have maintained a commitment to each other and our dream. Now, after many months of training, the Bay Area Derby Girls’ All-Star Team have earned the right to compete the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Championship Tournament in Atlanta from November 2-4th.
Our team is not just made up of 23 skaters and coaches. Our family, friends and the community that supports us keeps us on the track, working hard, and pushing ourselves to be the best. It has been the undying love of our friends, families, league mates, and fans that has propelled us this far. It is an honor to represent the Bay Area, state of California, and entire Western Region in this championship competition.
Thank you for your support!
