The founders' vision for the league includes legitimizing the sport of roller derby and promoting businesses and organizations run by women.
Because of their community service outreach programs, in 2009, the L.A. Derby Dolls were honored as a Treasure of Los Angeles by the Central City Organization, putting them in a category with the likes of Magic Johnson and the LA Dodgers.
The LA Derby Dolls have also been hosting the Down Syndrome Association of Los Angeles (DSALA) critically acclaimed annual fundraising event called TwentyWonder — “A Carnival Of The Mind” since 2011.
All proceeds benefit individuals born with Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) living in the greater Los Angeles area.
DPV is also considered a stepping stone into the LA Derby Dolls Fresh Meat program where women train to become team skaters for the league.
All types of scrimmage-safe skaters from freshmeat to retired as well as referees can enjoy either flat or banked track game play during wRECk League practice.
