Just because photos of a natural disaster aren't in your news feed anymore doesn’t mean the problem is over for the people living through it. Just ask Tampa Bay’s Revolution Roller Derby, which is spending the weekend helping victims of January’s Australian brush fire. The group is doing it by hosting a women’s and mixed-gender bout, and a large portion of the monies collected will be donated to the Australian Red Cross and Wires (stylized “WIRES”) Australian Wildlife Rescue Organisation via Ellen DeGeneres’ GoFundMe.
Sat. February 29. 11:30 a.m. Sunderman Hockey Rink, 1631 9th St., Palm Harbor. INFO
