As the thunderous roar of wheels on the rink echoed through the arena, the spirited members of the El Paso roller derby team strapped on their festive gear, gearing up not just for a thrilling tournament but to also raise funds for Toys for Tots in a Holiday-themed extravaganza of athleticism and charity.
The El Paso Roller Derby hosted Roller Derby Winter Wonderland Nov 11. The yuletide themed event took place at the Nations Tobin Recreation Center at 6 pm.
“We do a yearly fundraiser to help benefit Toys for Tots,” said head of PR for the El Paso Roller Derby Araceli Granados.
