Basingstoke Bison Partner with Basingstoke Pride for Pride Game – Sunday 22nd February
The Basingstoke Bison are proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Basingstoke Pride for our Pride Game on Sunday 22nd February.
This special game promises to be a celebration of inclusion, community and togetherness, as we begin what we hope will be a long term partnership with Basingstoke Pride. We are thrilled to be working alongside such a passionate and inspiring local organisation and look forward to officially welcoming them to the game.
Basingstoke Pride is a Community Interest Company (CIC) made up of a dedicated group of volunteers based in and around Basingstoke and Deane. Formed in November 2023, the organisation proudly delivered Basingstoke’s very first Pride Parade last year and this year they’re back, bigger and better than ever.
Their mission is to create an inclusive and empowering environment where LGBTQ+ people in Basingstoke and Deane can thrive and be celebrated for who they are. As a club at the heart of our community, we share those values and are delighted to support their work.
Fans attending the Pride Game will have the opportunity to meet and speak with representatives from Basingstoke Pride on the night, learning more about their plans, events and how they are making a positive impact locally.
Mia Marks Director at Basingstoke Pride said “We’re absolutely delighted to be partnering with the Basingstoke Bison for this year’s Pride Game. Sport has an incredible power to bring people together, and this partnership is a fantastic example of our community standing united in support of inclusion and equality. Seeing a local club so visibly champion LGBTQ+ people sends a powerful message that everyone belongs both on and off the ice. We’re excited to meet fans on the day and share more about how we’re continuing to grow Pride here in Basingstoke.”
Bison Marketing Manager Keziah Farthing said: "We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with Basingstoke Pride for our Pride Game this February and as a club, it’s important to us that everyone who walks through our doors feels welcome, valued and supported."
The Pride Game will not only be a fantastic night of hockey but also a chance for the community to come together, show support and celebrate diversity within our town.
Join us on Sunday 22nd February as we stand together, celebrate inclusion, and mark the start of an exciting new partnership.
