PridePlay Foundation Kickoff Campaign

Building Safe, Inclusive Spaces Where LGBTQ+ Youth Can Play, Grow, and Thrive.

The PridePlay Kickoff Campaign is the first fundraising initiative of PridePlay Foundation, created to ensure LGBTQ+ youth—especially Black & Brown Communities—have access to safe, affirming, and inclusive sports and play-based programs.

Too many young people are excluded from athletics because of who they are. PridePlay Foundation exists to change that. Through inclusive sports programs, mentorship, and community engagement, we empower youth to build confidence, form meaningful connections, and discover their strength—both on and off the field.

Funds raised through the PridePlay Kickoff Campaign will directly support:

Inclusive sports equipment and safe play spaces

Affirming mentorship and leadership opportunities

Community events and youth-centered programming

Program accessibility for trans and gender-diverse youth

Essential operational costs to sustain and grow our impact

This campaign is about more than sports—it’s about belonging, visibility, and opportunity. Every donation helps create spaces where young people are celebrated for who they are and encouraged to show up fully, proudly, and authentically.

Together, we can level the playing field and ensure every youth knows they belong on the team.

Play with Pride!
