September 28, 2009-Austin, TX The Hellcats will battle against the undefeated Cherry Bombs for the 2009 Calvello Cup Championship, but the real fight of the evening will be on behalf of boobies! The TXRD—Lonestar Rollergirls will hold a silent auction in support of the Keep-a-Breast Foundation during their final bout of the season on Saturday, October 10 at the Austin Convention Center.
On the auction block will be several plaster casts of skaters’ breasts that have been painted by local artists including Rodger Roundy, Michael Sieben, Cindy ‘Crash’ Raschke, Tim Sorensen, Stacey Martin, Kate ‘Kate or Dye’ Wissman, Heather ‘Daisy Mae Damage’ Roach, and Aubrey ‘Lacy Bones’ Hooser, amongst many others. We would like to extend our thanks to Jerry’s Artarama for their gracious plaster donation and to Michelle ‘Miss Hell’ Durbin for coordinating the breast casting parties.
The Keep-A-Breast Foundation is a non-profit organization seeking to increase breast cancer awareness among young people. Breast cast auctions are their primary fundraisers and use artistic expression to keep youth educated.
Well-timed with the premiere of Drew Barrymore’s upcoming new movie, Whip It, which was inspired by TXRD, the Lonestar Rollergirls will be hitting up the town for various promotional opportunities. Discounted skater tickets and the chance to chill with some rollergirls will be available at the following places, dates and times:
