HOME SEASON CHARITY: Family and Children's Service


Home season bout charity: Family & Children's Service

This year, the Minnesota RollerGirls have decided to select one charity to donate bout proceeds to for the entire home season. We feel that by doing this, we can make a greater impact for that organization. The entire league voted and the charity selected is Family and Children's Services (FCS). Many of the RollerGirls feel it is important to give families and kids a good start, whether that means through counseling, halting family violence, getting kids back on track at school, or with one of the many other services FCS offers.

Family & Children's Service has been giving help and hope to kids and families in Minnesota for 130 years. Each year, more than 26,000 people turn to us for mental health counseling (offered on the lowest sliding fee scale in the Twin Cities) and other services aimed at helping families be the best they can be. We help people solve serious problems like family violence, school failure and depression, as well as helping to prevent them by teaching life skills in parenting, anger management and conflict resolution. We also work to change community conditions in distressed neighborhoods by helping families create healthy and safe places for their children.
