Why: Come out and party with Roanne, one of Becca's best friends, for her birthday. All the money collected that night will be going to help Becca in her fight with cancer. Becca's unfortunately battling cancer for the second time and needs all the help she can get. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her and this humble event will help her financially. So come out and have a drink or two with Becca, Roanne and her friends for an awesome cause. With this party we can all help Becca and have fun doing it!

What: Hours of rollerskating fun at Orbit Skate Center in Palatine, IL. Click here for the map location of Orbit Skate Center. Music provided by DJs Maker & Pickel. There will also be raffle tickets and merchandise for sale including baked goods, art and clothing. Come on out and join the fun!

Why: Rebecca Babcock, a native Chicagoan and a recent Columbia College graduate, is in the fight of her life. At age 25, she has been diagnosed with a rare form of genetic Colon Cancer known as FAP (Familial Adenomatous polyposis). Rebecca, who has always enjoyed a smoke and drug free life, is a beloved employee of Old Town School of Folk Music and an essential component of Gingarte Capoeira Chicago. While she still tries to maintain some normalcy, such as going to work and training Capoeira, treatment is becoming more and more demanding and the medical bills are growing. Friends, family and the Gingarte Capoeira Community are coming together to launch a campaign to save Rebecca’s life. Colon Cancer took her father’s life—we don’t want it to take hers.

Cost: Tickets are $10 for entry plus skate rental, which may be purchased online by clicking the Paypal button below or at the door the evening of the event. The cost for rollerskates are $2 and rollerblades are $3. The proceeds from this event will go to assist Rebecca Babcock’s mounting medical bills, which are already in excess of $60,000. Click the Buy Now button below to order event tickets.

Thanks to everyone who came out on July 30, 2006 and supported our first benefit for Rebecca. We exceeded our set goal of $10,000 by double! Special thanks to Funkadesi & Gingarte Capoeira Chicago for their spectacular performances and help making the night fun and entertaining. Thanks go out to The Old Town School of Folk Music for them donating their space. And a HUGE thanks goes out to the people who volunteered and made this event happen. THANK YOU ALL!
