Aurora 88s Roller Derby

It’s here! It’s Emilethal’s birthday today. #21 is a phenomenal team mate, we’ve enjoyed watching her grow with the 88s and become the awesome skater she is. We’re so proud of you Lethal, we hope you have the best birthday! 🎉 🎊

Happy Juneteenth from the Aurora 88s! Before this lovely day of freedom wraps up, we’d like to urge you to donate to an amazing group of skaters within our community.

The Black Derby Collective is on a mission for inclusivity, belonging, and change. This team of skaters works hard to create a safe space for black athletes.
