For one unforgettable night, Stonewall Sports will celebrate 15 years of building community through sport and service.

What began as a single kickball league has grown into the largest LGBTQIA+ sports organization in the country, now spanning 28 chapters in 20 states and connecting more than 35,000 members. Along the way, Stonewall Sports has raised millions for local and national nonprofits while creating a space where camaraderie and competition thrive together.


The 15th Anniversary Gala in Washington, DC will honor that journey with red carpet moments, community celebration, and live music. Guests can look forward to a powerful performance from VINCINT and an after-party curated by Alex Love. VINCINT’s pursuit of inspiring audiences with messages of self-love and acceptance is something they’re excited to bring to stage at the Stonewall Sports Gala.

“Fifteen years ago, we set out to create something bigger than a sports league. We built a family,” said Matt Williams, President of Stonewall Sports Inc. “This anniversary is not just about our past. It’s a promise to keep building a future where everyone has a place on the field.”

The gala is more than a celebration. It is a tribute to the countless players, supporters, and community partners who have turned a neighborhood kickball game into a movement, one that continues to champion visibility, belonging, and joy.
