Thank You to Our Event Sponsors!
The Action Awards are back—and This Year Matters More Than Ever.
Every year, Athlete Ally brings together the people proving that sports can change the world: LGBTQIA+ athletes, courageous allies, and organizations turning their values into action.
Athlete Ally is building a world where no athlete is limited, targeted, or excluded because of who they are, whom they love, or how they express themselves. Every athlete deserves the freedom to be fully themselves—and the courage and support to defend that freedom for others.
At a moment when rights are being rolled back and our differences are being used to divide us, words alone are not enough. Allyship must become action. And sports still offer something powerful: a place where people with different identities, experiences, and beliefs can choose to stand together and play for something bigger than themselves.
The Action Awards celebrate that choice.
Join us at the Action Awards to help ensure every athlete acts as an ally.
Equality is a Team Sport
Why Join Us?
Sports saves lives.
We make sure it does.
For every young person who has ever felt like they don't belong on the field, in the locker room, or in the stands, Athlete Ally is working to change that. We give young people the life-saving power of sport, and we equip athletes with platforms to champion inclusion for everyone.
We have built relationships with over 120 pro athletes and over 300 college athletic departments. That is a lot of voices ready to speak up. What they need now is you, to help us turn that potential into action.
This Is More Than a Gala. It’s a Movement.
The Action Awards celebrates courage, progress, and allyship in sport and beyond. But more than that, it is an invitation to act. When you buy a table, you:
- Give LGBTQIA+ athletes and allies a bigger stage to shape the future of inclusion
- Fuel life-changing programs that support college athletes across the country
- Stand alongside the companies, leagues, and teams leading the fight for inclusion in sport
- Give your team a night that turns your values into visible action
