Last weekend, November 29th, the Circle City Socialites raised money for the Marion County Children’s Guardian Home. We hit the rink at Wheels of Wonder on Indianapolis’ south side and invited everyone to come along.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our league members, familes and fans, we raised over $500 for the Guardian Home, along with over 30 bags of wish list donations for the kids.

We also got a nice mention in the Indianapolis Star:

On behalf of the Socialites, thank you so much for your support! If you weren’t able to come out to the event, the Guardian Home is always taking donations. See http://www.guardianhome.org for more details on how you can help.

Come skate with the socialites!

The turkey and sweet potatoes have been eaten, the early-bird Christmas shopping has been conquered… what’s left for Thanksgiving weekend? Roller skating, of course — we’re throwing a skating party, and you’re cordially invited!

Saturday, November 29, we’re taking over the Wheels of Wonder skating rink (175 Southern Plaza Drive) for an afternoon of family-friendly skating fun. Bring your friends, bring your kids, and most importantly, share in the holiday spirit by bringing a donation for the Marion County Children’s Guardian Home.

Come work off that extra helping of pumpkin pie and help out a great cause!

Coming Out Brawl results

We did it!

In front of a sold-out crowd of over 600 people, the Circle City Socialites took to the track at Ellenberger Park Saturday night with pearls and skates ‘a-flyin! The temperature inside the rink may have been hot, but the action on the track was even hotter as the Green Team skated to a 102-53 victory over the Black Team.

Our inaugural ‘Coming Out Brawl’ was a smashing success, and we’d like to wholeheartedly thank all the skaters, staff, sponsors, derby sisters, and of course fans who made our league’s roller derby debut possible.  Your support and enthusiasm has been overwhelming! Special thanks go out to the skaters from the Bleeding Heartland Roller Girls and the Rollergirls of Southern Indiana who laced up to join our ranks as honorary Socialites for the night.    

October will find the Socialites training hard for their next engagement, still to be determined!  If you’re interested in joining us as a skater, ref or volunteer, make sure to drop us a line at www.circlecitysocialites.org/join – and check our events calendar on the message boards to keep up with all of our fall happenings!

it’s almost a sell-out!

Thank you from the bottom of our green and black hearts!  Due to overwhelming interest and support for your Circle City Socialites, tickets to September 27th’s Coming Out Brawl are almost sold out!

There will be a very limited number of tickets available at the door - if you missed your chance to buy ‘em in advance, get over to Ellenberger Park (5601 E St Clair) early tomorrow night - doors and ticket sales open at 6:00 sharp.
And even if you don’t get a seat for the inaugural bout, you can still come celebrate our debut with us in style!  Head over to Zanie’s Too (5914 E 10th St) for a rockin’ rollergirl afterparty featuring The Dockers, Bulletwolf and Maravich.  Admission is only $5, or $3 with a wristband from the bout…and sweaty rollergirl hugs are free!
