Derby raises $1,000 for arts group

July 29th, 2009 at 12:34pm Georgette Braun

The Rockford Rage roller derby league is donating $1,000 to the Rockford Area Arts Council as a result of its Starving Artist art sale where members and artists sold their works for $600. The other $400 came from proceeds from the group’s bout the same day on July 25 at the Indoor Sports Center in Loves Park.
