Help support Eden’s Farm: Pittsburgh’s first and only Safe House for Survivors.
Rollerskate to Liberate is excited to support Eden’s Farm and the development of Eden’s House. We’re gathering advocates and movers of all kinds to help join the #Movement. By signing up, skaters and movers will dedicate themselves to move on October 9th and raise money for Eden’s Farm by asking friends and family to sponsor their movement. It is by far the easiest and most fun way to volunteer for a great cause.
