Aberdeen Roller Derby Bout Will Raise Money For Local Animal Shelter

Aberdeen, NJ - Local roller derby teams will face off in Aberdeen to raise money for Tails of Hope, an Oakhurst animal shelter on Sept. 24. Four teams -- three from New Jersey and one from Connecticut -- will battle it out in the name of shelter pets at Tab Ramos.

The first game will pit Jersey Shore Roller Girls All-Stars against Two Rivers Roller Derby, and after that, the host team Central Jersey Roller Vixens will play the Shoreline Roller Derby, from Connecticut. Also in attendance will be some shelter pets you can meet.

Interested more in roller derby? A demonstration of how to play will be provided by a local youth league, Jersey Junior Roller Derby League from Jackson.

Tickets are $12 in advance, and those under ten are free with a paying adult. Tails of Hope will be collecting food, toys and treats for the pets living in the shelter. You can purchase tickets here.

Central Jersey Roller Vixens will also host a veterans charity game on Nov. 12, and a holiday toy drive at their Dec. 10 game. More information can be found on their website.
