We love spreading the love. And Haiti, above all, needs some love. So we're throwing a fundraiser. What's funny is that we really just whipped it together in the course of a few days, but it's going to be epic. Because Portland has come through, and people are excited. Truly excited. (How can you not be? It's roller skating!)
With the help of the Portland-based Mangrove Fund, we're happy to say that 100% of all ticket sales will go to organizations leading relief and recovery efforts in Haiti. And we are also donating 100% of the proceeds from Sock It to Me sock sales during the event. (Yep, we'll be there with a fully stocked booth!) What's better: wear your SITM socks or buy a pair at the event, and you'll receive raffle tickets to win some fantastic prizes. Think socks, tees, one-hour massages, amusement park passes, gift certificates to Portland hotspots and more (they keep rolling in!).
