Why we’re Sweating with Pride
We're rolling into Sweat with Pride this June! 💦🌈🛹Right now, too many in our rainbow community don’t feel safe - not in schools, not at work, and sometimes not even with their own doctors. That lack of safety comes at a cost: LGBTTQIA+ Kiwis are facing higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and preventable infections like syphilis, mpox, and HIV.
So, our crew, the Gayters 🐊 are committing to 21+ minutes of skating every single day in June to raise funds for the vital services our community needs to thrive. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
We believe skating is for everyone! Whether you're looking to move your body, learn new tricks, or make new friends, the skate community can be a safe and empowering space for LGBTTQIA+ and we’d love to welcome you to roll with us and experience the joy and freedom skating brings! 🌈🌞
If you’d like to tautoko and help us build a safer, healthier Aotearoa for our rainbow whānau, we’d be incredibly grateful for your donation - every dollar truly counts.
