Lacrosse Victoria will be hosting the Lacrosse Together Cup on Sunday, October 8, at PJ Lynch Reserve in Altona North from 10am-2:30pm.
The Lacrosse Together Cup is an annual social, round-robin event designed to celebrate diversity and inclusivity in lacrosse.
To make a stand against Homophobia, Biphobia, Transphobia, and Intersex discrimination in the sport.
Lacrosse Victoria general manager Michael Sholly said,”The Lacrosse Together Cup is such an important initiative for Lacrosse Victoria and our clubs to recognise and celebrate our LGBTIQ+ members and helps us demonstrate that lacrosse is a sport for all.”
In 2022, over 200 participants competed across three divisions to raise awareness and funds to help support the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people in sport.
Proud2Play will support the event by providing pre-event diversity and inclusion training to all volunteers and participants.
Proud2play chief executive Christine Granger said, “Proud2Play is thrilled to support Lacrosse Victoria’s ‘Lacrosse Together Cup,” she said.
“Our work over the past two years has led to incredible changes in policy and programming within Lacrosse Victoria, with the Lacrosse Together Cup being a strong show of visible support for the LGBTQI+ community.
“The success of last year’s cup is a great example of how standing against discrimination and being visible allies can create a genuine sense of belonging. We hope this year’s cup can build on that.”
