The Quadfathers are a league from the Mohawk Valley area of Central New York (my home town and my initial foray into the world of Roller Derby).  It's not a big city so fund-raising can be difficult.  Anything you send will be greatly appreciated!  :)[/size][/li]

Roller Derby is a very open community that is mostly supported by volunteers and inspires grass roots efforts with strong community ties.  Send a few dollars their way if that's the type of world you want to live in!  :)[/size][/li]
