📅 Rāhoroi, Sunday 29 November 2025
⏰ Doors open 12pm
Swamp City Roller Derby is bringing our annual breast cancer research fundraiser to Taitoko, Levin for the first time! Join us for The Next Breast Thing – Kēmu Kohikohi Pūtea mo te Mate Ūtaetae, a special roller derby event where skaters from across the North Island will battle it out on the track – all in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.
🎟 Entry by koha (donation) – every dollar goes directly to support breast cancer research.
💖 This event began in 2017 to support our own maDD honour (Jody Hare) during her breast cancer journey. Now a proud survivor, Jody and our league continue to raise awareness and funds to fight this disease.
🛼 Featuring skaters from:
Swamp City (Papaioea -Palmerston North)
Richter City (Te Whanganui-a-Tara - Wellington)
Remutaka Roller Derby (Te Awa Kairangi ki Uta -Upper Hutt)
Kāpiti Coast Derby Crew
Bay City Rollers (Te Matau-a-Māui - Hawke’s Bay)
Taupō Roller Derby Leauge
Come along, cheer loud, wear māwhero, pink, and support a cause that affects so many of us.
Early detection saves lives – let’s roll together for awareness and action.
📣 Invite your mates. Bring the whānau. Let’s pack the house and make some noise for breast cancer research!
Every year 3,500 Kiwis are diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 650 will die.
By fundraising for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, I’m helping fund –
- Ground-breaking projects by some of our countries top researchers
- Education about breast health, the importance of regular screening and the signs and symptoms of breast cancer
- Free support services for breast cancer patients and their families
Donate today to help make zero deaths from breast cancer a reality.
