Aurora roller derby bout to feature raffle for charity

On Saturday, July 9, stop by the Aurora Skate Center to see Wrath Pack take on the ladies of Illiana in what's to be expected as a well-matched roller derby bout. Earlier in the season, Aurora 88's Wrath Pack came out on top, and Illiana is coming this time to the Aurora rink to challenge the local skaters.

Doors open at 5 p.m. at the center, 34W113 Montgomery Road in Aurora. Whistle starts at 6 p.m.

Win the 50/50 raffle benefiting the charity of the month, Reclaim13, dealing with children who are being trafficked, and stopping the cycle. Girls in Reclaim13's Cherish House are provided with medical services through a local medical center. It is a long-term, trauma-informed home, with no prescribed length of stay. In-house therapists are assigned to each girl in Cherish House. Therapy support is also offered to individuals served by the mentor program. You can find more information on the organization at www.reclaim13.org.
