GSWS Columbus

To our friends at Samson and the Torso family, thank you for repping GSWS in your displays and on your shelves. And for so much more. Your support and visibility in our city means the world to us and the LGBTQ+ community. Thank you!

GSWS 2026 could not have been possible without our incredible community partners. To our Grand Slam and Home Run Level partners, thank you. Your support, from financial gifts to spaces and events, made this World Series one to remember.

Continue to patron these places. They’re great people, great businesses, and are always willing to step up and help their community.

The hardware has been handed out, fields cleaned up, and parties are over, but we’ve got another message for everyone who had a hand in this, the largest World Series ever—thank you. If you were a part of this series on the field or off of it, behind the scenes or on the front lines, thank you. The community came together and showcased the best of our city.

Best of luck to our friends in San Francisco as they prepare to host the milestone 50th Gay Softball World Series in 2027.
