Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
We simply can’t put into words how beautiful it was to have you all at the Dirty Derby Ball!! Sending USRDL off into its new era meant so much to all of us and we couldn't be happier. We have so many people to thank for getting this night off the ground and helping to make it such a huge and beautiful success!
When we started planning, we really wanted to give everyone whose lives have been changed by USRDL the chance to give it, and its amazing history, some love. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without you, and without the incredible volunteers, DJs, performers, venue staff, photographer (Ken and Barbie 4ever 💖💖) and attendees who made it happen.
First, thank you to our amazing DJs - Yolanda () and Bonjus. The music was sooo 🔥🔥🔥, we appreciate you so much.
