About this campaign
Gotham Roller Derby fosters personal, mental and physical strength through collaboration, inclusiveness and community-building while representing New York City in athletic excellence.
As you all know, the repercussions of the pandemic have been vast. Gotham Roller Derby, NYC's only flat-track roller derby league and founding member of the WFTDA, has faced innumerable setbacks in an attempt to rebuild.
If you live in NYC, you know how difficult it is to find affordable real estate (or, frankly, any real estate). Add in our very specific spacing needs and you can imagine that our space search has been very difficult.
Despite all this and many other setbacks along the way, we have found a new home for Gotham — but we need help now more than ever. In order to secure this space and pay for the necessary construction costs it needs to be functional, we need to raise $600,000 in a very short amount of time.
This space will benefit more than just the denizens of Gotham — other NYC skate groups will be able to rent out the space to use as well, bringing more access to roller skating in the Brooklyn and Queens area. Our goal is intimidating, but so are we. Will you join us in continuing NYC's history of roller derby and roller skating excellence?
10% of proceeds will be donated to Lambda Legal in support of their work defending the rights of LGBTQ+ people and everyone living with HIV.
Founded in 2003, Gotham is New York City’s only skater-operated roller derby league for cisgender, transgender and intersex women and gender non-conforming participants. The league is comprised of strong, diverse, and independent members.
As a 501c3 non-profit organization, Gotham is committed to fostering serious competition on a national and international level, developing amateur athletes for competition, and promoting the physical and mental strength and independent spirit of amateur athletes.
Thanks for your support!

Much love to Gotham for the joy and empowerment they bring! Basic Training with the league has empowered me in ways I never thought possible. It's a very special kind of sport and a very special kind of league.
