The Women’s World Cup of soccer starts in late July, but so does another international competition: The Junior Roller Derby World Cup.

And unlike the USWMNT of football, the junior roller derby team has a Tampa connection—seven of them, to be exact. Six local skaters and one coach are headed to Valence, France at the end of next month, but they need some money to get there since the estimated cost per person is $3,000.

To help the cause, Seminole Heights’ favorite wine and imported beer watering hole is hosting a fundraiser featuring live music, a 50/50 raffle and merch.

There’s no cover, but bring money to donate to Tampa Bay Junior Derby World Cup fundraiser on Sunday, July 2 at Independent Bar & Cafe in Tampa.
