ROCKY MOUNTAIN TALONS GETTING INLINE FOR A CURE
Our mission is to do our part toward giving back to our community while increasing the awareness and importance of youth sports and contributing to the research and cure for childhood cancer.
The Skate for the CURE event will promise a fun time for you and your family members while you participate in a cause that touches the lives of children and their families locally and across America.
Come and experience our Rocky Mountain Talons compete in individual time trials for the best time around the rink, and a fierce competition between team relays for the fastest time of a 30 lap skate race and an open skate for everyone, all to raise funds for the Children's Cancer Research cause.

How You Can Help
Don't miss the Fun & Games as we launch our first annual Skate for the CURE Gala to raise much-needed funds for childhood cancer and our youth sports development programs. We be at your local Wal-Mart, King Soopers, and other Parker shopping areas with empty hockey helmets the four weekends prior in hopes that you'll help us fill them with much needed support. See you there! Interested in also donating your time? We are in need of volunteers for both the event itself, and the booths at Wal-Mart and King Soopers.
