Support your sisters and your girls!

Roller derby is a hard hitting full contact sport but it’s also a supportive community for women on and off the track. That’s why the Mid-State Sisters of Skate have decided throw our support behind Ministry’s Breast Care Center.

Women who have a positive or questionable result from the mammogram often have to wait before getting a biopsy and learning about their results, elongating their anxiety. Ministry’s Breast Center has cut that wait by at least half.

Breast Center organizers are working towards getting a permanent location at the clinic in Stevens Point. In the meantime, they are sharing lifesaving information on how to care for yourself and how to catch breast cancer early.

We have several ways for you to support the Breast Center too!

1. Buy a brat at our May 4th brat fry! The derby girls will be at Copps Market to not only spread the word about their upcoming season but to show their support for Ministry Health's Breast Care Center. All proceeds for this event will go towards this great cause. 
2. Join us at our May 11th bout! A portion of the proceeds from the MS-SOS May 11th bout will go towards the Breast Center. 
3. Get more information about the Breast Center here: http://ministryhealth.org/HC/Home/Fall2012/MinistryAreaNews/CentralWisconsin.nws

Won’t you join us in supporting a fabulous cause this May!

I’m not sure if my teammates are a little crazy, a little masochistic or a combination of both. On February 2, 2013 six of the Mid-State Sisters of Skate participated in the annual Wisconsin Rapids Polar Plunge.

 Not only did they jump into the frigid Wisconsin Rapids Flowage, they raised a whopping $700 for the Wisconsin Special Olympics. Our MS-SOS friends, family and fans really warmed our hearts with their generosity! Many thanks to all that donated to this wonderful organization that supports some amazing athletes!
