GSRS Giving Tuesday 2025

Garden State Rainbow Sports (GSRS) is raising $2,500 this Giving Tuesday to build safe, affirming, and community-centered sports spaces for LGBTQ+ athletes across New Jersey.

For too many LGBTQ+ athletes, traditional sports environments have not always been welcoming. GSRS is changing that by building leagues, hosting events, and creating spaces where athletes can play, connect, and feel fully supported. With our new Home Court Advantage at St. John’s, we now have a reliable and inclusive space to grow—but we need your help to take the next steps.

Your donation directly supports:

• Building new leagues and events through facility rentals, equipment, and program development

• Strengthening our Home Court Advantage with equipment, safety supplies, and space support

• Expanding outreach so more LGBTQ+ athletes can find community and connection

• Access support through our Player Access Fund, ensuring cost is never a barrier

• Growing organizational capacity so GSRS can offer more programs, more often, to more people

GSRS is a volunteer-driven community working to make sports inclusive for everyone. Your support helps us launch new programs, offer more events, and reach athletes who need a safe and welcoming place to play.

Our Giving Tuesday link will remain open until December 8, and every donation—no matter the amount—brings us closer to a stronger, more connected GSRS community.

Thank you for supporting inclusive sports in New Jersey and helping us build a brighter, more visible future for LGBTQ+ athletes.
