Dear Friends,
Sport has the power to bring people together — and together, we can help build a future where every athlete is welcomed, respected, and celebrated.
You’re invited to join us at the 2026 Athlete Ally Action Awards Gala on Thursday, October 29, 2026, in New York City. This inspiring evening honors the athletes, allies, and organizations leading the way in fostering allyship within athletics, raising critical support for Athlete Ally’s mission.
The Action Awards bring together leaders from across the sports community for an unforgettable night of celebration, storytelling, and impact. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to Athlete Ally, your attendance helps strengthen the movement for more inclusive athletic spaces.
Tickets are available now, and we encourage you to secure yours early.
This year, every dollar raised goes directly into the Athlete Ally Collective – a new priority program that invests directly in college athletes who are doing culture work on their campuses and in their communities. With your support, we’re putting $3M directly into the hands of college athletes committed to Athlete Ally’s mission over the next 4 years.
Thank you for standing with Athlete Ally and supporting a future where everyone has equal opportunity to participate and thrive in sport.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks for honoree announcements and we look forward to celebrating with you in October!
