Charity Partnership

Greenville Roller Derby strives to better our community through volunteerism and charitable contributions—the foundations through which our league fosters connections with each other and the Upstate as a whole. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with other nonprofit organizations when doing so supports our mission of inclusivity and outreach. We value our partners and the role they play in building the capacity of our organization and extending our service to the community. Each season we choose a local nonprofit to partner with and donate a portion of game profits towards, with 2024's official charity being TreesUpstate.
