Lake Tahoe’s only flat track roller derby league has started gearing up for the 2011 season, with the first bout scheduled for March 12 in Redding. In order to help defray the costs of renting practice space during the winter, uniform costs, traveling to away bouts and hosting home bouts at Lake Tahoe during the summer, the Tahoe Derby Dames seek sponsorship assistance from local businesses.

Besides the warm and fuzzy feeling a local business may receive from supporting a skater owned and operated, fully volunteer organization that also gives back to the community, there are valuable and tangible benefits, ranging from season passes to all home bouts to exposure on the Dames’ website, plus much more.

Sponsorship opportunities start at $100, and can be customized to fit your needs. If you’re interested in supporting the Tahoe Derby Dames in 2011, contact tahoederbydames@sbcglobal.net or call (530) 318.5158.
