The Cape Girardeau Roller Girls (CGRG) kicked off the 2014 season with a mashup scrimmage on Saturday, February 22nd at A.C. Brase Arena. CGRG went big for their opener and rostered 18 skaters per team, rather than the typical fourteen. Skaters were mashed up between two teams; the "White Wolves" or the "Black Wolves".
$600 raised from the November bout was presented to "Room for One More" while a portion of the proceeds from the February bout will benefit the Special Olympics Missouri. The donation to the Special Olympics is in addition to over $3000 raised by CGRG for the organization's "Polar Plunge".
The team is excited about its 2014 season, and hopes to see you at our next bout on March 29th versus the MO-KAN Roller Girlz! For more information, visit www.capegirardeaurollergirls.com or e-mail JOIN@CapeGirardeauRollerGirls.com!
