Benefit for the Hecker Family at Small’s Bar Friday, July 9

Posted on July 7, 2010

Julie Hecker, of Punk Fitness Detroit, and the mover and driver behind the Detroit Derby Girls original, and one and only cheerleading squad, The Motor City Rah-Rahs, passed away suddenly last week. Julie, and the Rah-Rahs, had been with the DDG since our first exhibition bout in 2006. Julie was an incredible, vivacious, and continuously positive woman, and will be sadly missed by not only the Detroit Derby Girls, but the entire community of Detroit.

Small’s Bar is putting together a short-notice benefit for the Hecker family on Friday July 9. We’re hoping for it to be a memorial for Julie, a great party to honor her amazing and unforgettable spirit, and also a fundraiser to raise cash for her family to help with burial expenses or whatever they see fit to use it for.
