“We believe sports have the power to unite people,” said Billy Looper. “It’s critical that LGBTQ+ youth are allowed to freely participate in sports as it’s a powerful vehicle for the development of individual character and resilience. This is one reason why KindRED Pride hosts The Pride Cup.”
The Pride Cup is a multi-sport LGBTQ+ competition held each year beginning in 2022 during the first weekend in June in Orlando. With events welcoming all levels of athletes, the spirit of the competition is “Be Kind Champion” to overlap with all the world-class events held during RED Shirt Pride Days.
