A benefit to: Smash Tarts for Open Hearts, as the Sacred Heart Medical Center Surgical Team gears up to head to Rwanda to preform much needed open heart surgery.
And a fantastic and inspirational quality athletic event, to be sure.
Note: I have a new dream to encourage my rambunctious 4-year-old niece to join the ranks. I can see her now, trading in those new Barbie roller skates for a more hardcore pair.
"Bouts" occur at the old Pattison's Rink where I recall awkward sweaty Junior High hand-holding. Spokane's Lilac City Rollergirls created the Beta-Blockers and Ace-Inhibitors for the Benefit's benefit, but you can catch these official competitors at their regularly scheduled and promoted girl fights: The Toothless Annies, The Pretty Deadly's, and The She-Wolves.
