OUR
Solidarity program
In the spirit of unity and inclusivity, the Pinkster Tournament is proud to announce the launch of our Solidarity Program in partnership with Pride & Sports. This initiative aims to break down barriers and welcome individuals who might otherwise be unable to participate due to financial constraints.
We are committed to reaching out to marginalized groups within the LGBTQIA+ community, including but not limited to people of color, transgender individuals, refugees and those facing intersectional challenges.
The Solidarity Program emphasizes the importance of diversity, aiming to create a tennis community that celebrates the richness of different backgrounds, experiences, and identities.
PRIDE & SPORTS
We are excited to announce our partnership with Pride & Sports, an organization committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity in sports.
Pride & Sports will be a key ally in financing our Solidarity Program, providing crucial support to make our vision a reality. Their dedication to fostering equality aligns seamlessly with our mission, and their financial assistance will significantly enhance the reach and impact of our program.
Furthermore, we will raise money within our outreach program for Pride & Sports. This enables them to create a pilot program to offer guidance and resources to other sports events looking to establish their own solidarity programs.
Together, we aim to create a ripple effect within the sporting community, inspiring others to embrace inclusivity and ensure that the joy of sports is accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or financial means.
Through this partnership, we are not only making tennis more inclusive but contributing to a broader movement for diversity and equality in sports.
