SPONSORSHIP
What began in 2017 with a single kickball league has grown into one of Central Ohio’s largest LGBTQ+ recreational sports organizations.
Today, Stonewall Sports Columbus brings together more than 1,000 participants through kickball, dodgeball, bocce, yoga, cornhole, volleyball, and other community programming throughout the year.
Our partners help make that community possible.
Sponsorship with Stonewall Sports Columbus is an opportunity to connect your organization with an active, diverse, and engaged LGBTQ+ and ally community while supporting inclusive recreation, meaningful connection, and philanthropy across Central Ohio.
