The Mojave Rattle Skaters is a flat-track women’s roller derby team in the Morongo Basin. The team was formed in 2012 and actively trains and competes with other regional roller derby teams. They have been actively raising money to fund the installation of a smooth concrete track. Managing editor Tami “The Taminator” Roleff puts on her skates to tell us about the Rattle Skaters’ latest fund-raising effort…
Honey badgers are known for their ferocity, which is appropriate for a women’s roller derby team. The Mojave Rattle Skaters is holding a Honey Badger Ball fundraiser to raise money for an outdoor public roller rink at the Brehm sports park in Yucca Valley, and the public is invited! The Honey Badger Ball will be held Saturday, August 31, at the Joshua Tree Lake campground, 2601 Sunfair Road, in Joshua Tree, starting at 8 p.m. There will be live music by the Paul Chesne Band, food, and drinks. As evidenced by the theme, this is not a formal event; come as you are. In fact, creative attire is encouraged, and there will be a prize for the best honey badger-themed outfit. A suggested donation of $10 will be requested at the gate. Donations of CRV bottles and cans will also be accepted at the site. Camping is available and can be reserved at jtlake.com, or by calling 760-366-1213. For more information, visit mojaverattleskaters.com.
