Giving Tuesday
Please consider giving to Unmatched Athlete this #GivingTuesday to support our mission and our upcoming 2022 biweekly pickup game schedule.
This year has seen so many triumphs for LGBTQ+ rights, and yet there are so many hurdles to overcome in the sports. Unfortunately, there are still many negative examples of overcoming taboos, toxic masculinity, and thinking you're just not good enough, athletic enough or welcome to play in sports for LGBTQ+ people.
We believe that changing this narrative starts with creating a safe, supportive and fun environment for LGBTQ+ and allied youth. Let’s show them how to move, be active, and enjoy all the benefits participating in sports and fitness can offer. Your support will serve as a small step towards making your mission a reality.
Joint Partnership with GLSEN Maryland
We are excited to announce that we will be partnering with GLSEN Maryland! For those who aren’t familiar with GLSEN Maryland, they support students and educators locally, organizing around LGBTQ-affirming public policy, planning teacher trainings, and hosting events for students, educators, parents, and allies.
National Coming Out Day 2021 Stories
In tribute to National Coming Out Day, we had some amazing youth who were kind enough to share their coming out stories.
We thank Cami, Rose and Sam for sharing their stories! Also, we thank their parents for their support.
We would love to hear about your coming out story too! You do not have to be fond of sports and/or fitness to share. Everyone is welcome to share their story regardless of of age. You can do so by e-mailing us or on social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter).
Launch Game Recap
A special thanks to everyone who attended and supported our launch event on Saturday! We also thank all of our sponsors for their continued support and The Charmery for the delicious ice cream. More please? We plan on having another pick-up games event on October 30th and should have more details about it soon. Thank you again and hope to see y'all soon!
Summer 2021 Newsletter
Hope you are safe and enjoyed Pride month this year! Though we are still experiencing challenging times, it is important to remind ourselves that there is light ahead of the tunnel. So let's all hang in there and continue to persevere.
Thank you Baltimore Ravens Foundation!
We want to thank The Baltimore Ravens Foundation for awarding us a 2021 Play 60 Grant. We are incredibly humbled and excited for the recognition. We look forward to creating a space that is welcoming and safe for LGBTQ+ athletes. This is just the beginning! Ultimately, our goal is to create more representation for LGBTQ+ people in sports. We look forward to our next event, our Meet and Greet, next Saturday, August 14. We hope to see you there!
