Less than a week ago NASCAR released a strong statement in regards to racial injustice, now NASCAR is following that up with another strong display of inclusion with their participation in the You Can Play Pride Auction.
NASCAR will be contributing a signed helmet and two tickets along with a VIP experience to a 2021 NASCAR Cup Series race for the winning bidder. The auction runs June 15-30, so set your calendars and bookmark this link to start your bidding bright and early next week: https://youcanplaypride.givesmart.com.
You Can Play is an organization that was made to include all athletes without regard to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. The goal is to create a safe space and to ensure equality, respect, and safety.
Other participating organizations include the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers, the NHL’s Dallas Stars and Detroit Red Wings, the NBA’s Toronto Raptors and the National Women’s Hockey League.
NASCAR and You Can Play are both members of the Diversity & Inclusion Sports Consortium, a partnership among diversity and inclusion practitioners from the largest sports organizations in the United States. NASCAR hosted the Sports Diversity and Inclusion Symposium, an annual forum among DISC members, at Daytona International Speedway in 2019.
