“The LGBTQ Center OC is thrilled to extend an invitation for you to participate in our upcoming Roller Rink Fundraiser: Skate & Scream! We invite Orange County LGBTQIA+ youth, young adults, families, and allies to join us at this safe, family-friendly, inclusive community event where you can skate the night away! Half of the raised proceeds will go towards the LGBTQ Center OC’s Youth/Young Adult Program to support its upcoming holiday youth event in December, Queer Joy.
* Free parking is available in the main and surrounding lots
How to participate: To participate in this event, you must purchase tickets and sign The Rinks Irvine Inline Safety Waiver either with the links below or at the door.
- Purchase tickets ($15 per person): https://one.bidpal.
net/skatescream - Safety Waiver: The Rinks Irvine Inline Safety Waiver
What to anticipate: We encourage you to come dressed in costume to celebrate the spooky season, or whatever attire is most comfortable for you. However, if skating, please be aware of the length/accessibility of your costume to avoid potential falls (long cloths getting stuck on your/or other skaters wheels), hitting others by accident (blow-up costumes with extended tails or arms), or what can come undone easily (wigs and other accessories.)
- If you’d like to support us but don’t want to skate, we will have an area set aside for games and arts and crafts activities so that you can still participate in the event and meet others.
- You are welcome to bring your own skates, safety gear (helmets, knee/elbow pads, etc.) or to rent quads and in-line skates from The Rinks. Skate rentals are available from size 4 and up and kids can bring their own razors (scooters) if they’d like!
Food: Food is available to purchase at The Rinks snack bar inside the lobby and we ask that you please refrain from bringing your own food into the space unless you have diet restrictions, allergy concerns, and so on. You can bring a water bottle and hydro flasks. Alcohol is prohibited to bring inside and will not be sold on-site.
We hope to see you there! Please share the word with your friends and connections: https://bit.ly/
