The Silicon Valley Roller Girls (SVRG) promotes health and fitness in women and children, with the goal of preparing its members for international competition in the sport of roller derby. Within our programs, SVRG encourages individual athleticism and empowerment, especially among women and children of diverse backgrounds. SVRG is in its 9th year of operation, serving all of Santa Clara County and the neighboring counties of Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Mateo. SVRG is also committed to supporting local nonprofit efforts that align our overall mission of serving women and children. SVRG donates a portion of home game ticket sales to local charities as well as volunteering league time and effort with our local charity partners. In 2013, for example, SVRG donated $1,800 in bout proceeds back into the community and league members volunteered 380 hours combined hours to our nonprofit partners.
