Too many times we've walked into a bar looking to watch a massive women's sporting event only to find every television turned to men's sports, and sometimes even replays of games from years past. Asking the bartender to find the channel and being surrounded mostly by men mildly engaged in whatever event is being played is always frustrating and just tiresome--we're over it!

We have decided that it's time to create our own space. At Kings Sports Pub each television will feature a women's sporting event that's happening that day or media coverage of what's happening in women's sports both in the United States and globally. Our simple food menu will meet the dietary needs of most, and, taste standards of all. Our drink menu will include a yummy array of cocktails, beers, and wine, as well as mocktails, kombucha, and other delicious n/an options.

So why Kings? We want to flip gender norms and expectations on their head from the very start! While being queen can have its perks, women are rarely given the top position of influence or power, particularly when there is a male counterpart to fill the role. Kings is about claiming space for ourselves and recognizing that women can be and do anything. It's time to disregard the notion that women aren't good enough or capable to achieve greatness within specific spheres. They told us we can't be athletes, so why not Kings?

Though we are seeking traditional forms of financing we know that startups are unlikely to receive full funding. In order to make Kings a reality we are targeting to raise $200,000 through this community campaign to help secure a location, purchase equipment, and to pay our staff in our first few months of operation. Opening our doors and ensuring survival in our first year will cost much more--there are always surprises--so even if we meet our goal, please continue to contribute as your donation will go to building a strong foundation to help Kings Sports Pub stick around for a long time.

Founding Teammate Thank You

Everyone who contributes to this fund will be a founding teammate of Kings Sports Pub and we want to thank you for your support! As a small thank you (this is about raining money after all) we want to offer 20% off any merchandise purchase for every $150 donated. Additionally you will be the first to hear when our store drops any new items that we add along the way. We don't have a store yet, but you can trust that since we're in the creative capital our threads will be high quality and will quickly become your go to gear to throw on as you roll out your door. So here's how it works:

$150 = 20% off 1 merchandise item
$300 = 20% off 2 merchandise items
$450 = 20% off 3 merchandise items

...and so on...

Check out our website and follow us on Instagram to stay up to date on our progress.

Thank you so much for your support! We can't wait to see you at Kings!

In the worst case scenario that Kings doesn't come to fruition all proceeds from this campaign will be donated directly to local organizations that work to empower girls and LGBTQ youth. So, if you're worried about "what if this doesn't happen?" you can be confident that your pledge is doing a lot of good in the Providence community one way or another.
