Sports shape who we become long after the game ends — teaching confidence, leadership, teamwork, and resilience. 💪💜

Now, we want to hear your story.

Lambda Legal is collecting stories about the power of sports and why every kid, including transgender kids, deserves the opportunity to play.
Together, these stories will celebrate the life lessons sports teach and how they benefit us all — strengthening our families, neighborhoods, and communities.

This effort comes at a pivotal moment, ahead of a major Supreme Court decision expected this summer.

Do you have a story about how sports shaped you? Share a video, photo, or written story with us by May 26.
