Heels for Hope 2024: $40,000+ Raised for LGBTQ+ Youth!!! Last Friday night marked the 10th Anniversary of Heels for Hope, and it was by far our most successful fundraising year yet... y'all showed up, showed out, and helped us raise over $40,000 to support LGBTQ+ youth! From our fabulous Heels Off Competition, to some incredible guest appearances (a surprise video from Senator Elizabeth Warren!), we had such a blast celebrating Pride with you, and raising money that will go directly to supporting queer and trans youth across Massachusetts. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to all who came out for this truly special night! Our very own Youth Leader/Content Creator, Tia Sky, made this fabulous video that premiered during the event... take another watch to hear first hand how BAGLY provides life-saving, life changing programs to queer and trans youth across Massachusetts! https://lnkd.in/esMvJZvr

🌈This year, members of Reebok's Colorful Soles ERG marched in the Boston Pride Parade as guests of BAGLY, Inc. (The Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Youth). 🦄 BAGLY was among 315 groups in the parade from all over Massachusetts. To our surprise, Senator Elizabeth Warren marched alongside BAGLY and even took selfies with the crowd! 👟 Reebok participants all laced up in the Pride DMX Comfort+ shoes.

Thanks to our friends at Zipcar for welcoming BAGLY Youth Leaders to their home office in Boston for a special Pride panel earlier this week! And they aren't done yet... If you book any Zipcar in Boston for tomorrow (Saturday) June 15th, they'll donate $1 to BAGLY for every hour you drive! Thank you for your support, and get ready to Ride with Pride!
In honor of #pridemonth, we hosted BAGLY, Inc. at our home office in Boston. Leaders from BAGLY discussed pronouns, how to be an ally, and how BAGLY makes a difference in the lives of the LGBTQ+ youth. Thank you to Monty, Kyrus/Malek and L from BAGLY, our own Brian Jacobs for moderating the panel, and the ZipQueers ERG for putting on the event.

Great to join New England Revolution players and several of the club’s community partners, including the Boston Strikers, Stonewall Sports, Inc., BAGLY, Inc., Greater Boston PFLAG, and Revs Amputee Soccer Team, to flip the switch and light up “The Pru” in rainbow colors, signifying the club’s longstanding support of the LGBTQIA+ community. (The Pru will be lit up on Wed night.) The Revolution players wore Major League Soccer’s Pride-themed training tops, which will also be worn when the club hosts its annual Pride 🌈 Night match on Saturday, June 29 vs. the Columbus Crew at Gillette Stadium.
