Volunteerism
Giving back is at the heart of everything we do. In addition to football, our league engages with other area non-profit organizations to donate time and resources to improve the lives of LGTBQ+ people in Rhode Island.
The Board of Directors is working to identify local non-profits to partner with. If your organization provides support and social services to the LGBTQ+ community please contact us to discuss how we can help further your mission.
