Rogue Rollergirls Battle It Out & Raise Funds For The Army’s Army
On Saturday May 4th, the Rogue Rollergirls went head to head with the Kill Devil Hills Derby Brigade in a bout geared towards supporting our military and raising funds for The Army’s Army.
A portion of the ticket sales from the event went to support our mission of “watching over those who watch over us.”
We would like to thank the Rogue Rollergirls and everyone that came out to the event for their support .

Ride To Honor A Huge Success!
On May 18th, the Army’s Army teamed up with Cross Creek Cycling Club to host the 2nd annual Ride To Honor, a 34 and/or 61 mile bicycle ride to raise money for and help further our mission of supporting soldiers, veterans and their families.
Sponsored by the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau and Food Lion, Ride To Honor is part of Fayetteville’s 31 Day Salute, a month-long celebration of performances, exhibits and activities throughout Cumberland County that show appreciation, respect and support for those who serve and have served in the armed forces.
This year we were honored to have three special guests ride; triple amputee John Masson, MSG (Ret.) United States Army, Patty Collins, LTC (ret) US Army and Jason Kimbal, SSG (ret) US Army, both with the US Paralympics Cycling Team.
We would also like to thank all of our partners and volunteers who came out to support our event this year!
